Answer:
To cross the water I'm the way. For water I'm above I touch it not and truth to say I neither swim nor move.
Everyone has me except for a few. You may not be able to identify me but I can always identify you. What am I?
I am gold and can be black and white I'm a symbol for a nation when freedom took flight.
The more you take away from me the bigger I shall get.
People need me, yet they give me away every day. What am I?
It flows out of the soil, It burns you if it boils, And holds us in its coils, More valuable than gold, As black as it is old.
