(Like freedom in 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 the bedroom
Hoping this isn't how the story has to go
It's not the way it goes, it's your book now
You are 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
Your far from home
Is a perfect place to start
So this final verse is a contradiction
And the more we learn, the less we know
We've been talking about 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
Every breath is a faded crown we wear,
Like some debilitated king
Don't let go tonight
The earth spins and the world goes round
The green comes from the frozen ground,
And everything will be made new again,
Like freedom in spring,
Hey, like freedom in spring,
Like freedom in spring
