Golden Sunlight

Hand over hand I crawled back to land There is no retreat That option's far and away I have to be brave I always did crave The golden sunlight It's been about me But I'm setting that free For golden sunlight There's a door open to walk through All I want is, just beyond What if I could let my guard down Into freedom, on and on Somehow it came out What I can't talk about Someone to help me As free as I wanna be I cannot erase But you helped me face The songs and the flowers At last, perception Of my self-deception And then the songs and the flowers There's a door open to walk through All I want is, just beyond What if I could let my guard down Into freedom, on and on What if I could just let my guard down What if I could live wide open What if I could just let my guard down And go beyond into the great unknown Sweetheart I've been bothered A golden sunlit path I've been after Grass hills, wildflowers Chaparral trails for our daughter I want to be her father I want to hear her laughter Under meteor showers Our dogs will howl at the midnight hour There's a door open to walk through All I want is, just beyond What if I could let my guard down Into freedom, on and on What if I could just let my guard down What if I could live wide open What if I could just let my guard down And go beyond into the great unknown
