Golden

Like freedom and spring Like freedom and spring Like freedom and spring She's alone tonight with a bitter cup and She's undone tonight, she's all used up She's been staring down the demons Who've been screaming, "She's just another so-and-so Another so-and-so" You are golden You are golden, child You are golden Don't let go Don't let go tonight There's a fear that burns like trash inside And your shame, the curse that burns your eyes You've been hiding in your bedroom Hoping this isn't how the story has to go It's not the way it goes It's your book now You're golden You are golden, child You are golden Don't let go Don't let go tonight You're a lonely soul in a land of broken hearts And far from home is a perfect place to start Yeah (la-la, la, la) La, la-la, la, la, la La-la, la, la La, la-la, la, la, la So this final verse is a contradiction And the more we learn, the less we know We've been talking 'bout a feeling We both know inside but couldn't find the words I couldn't write this verse I've seldom been so sure About anything before Golden You are golden, child You are golden Don't let go Don't let go tonight This world is a dead man down (golden, you are golden) Every breath is a fading crown we wear (child, you are golden) Like some debilitated king (don't let go) (Don't let go tonight) The Earth spins and the moon goes 'round (golden, you are golden) The green comes from the frozen ground (child, you are) And everything will be made new again (golden, golden, golden) Like freedom and spring (golden, golden) (Hey) like freedom and spring (you are golden, golden) (Hey) like freedom and spring (child, you are gold...)
