Lyrics

(Like freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom...)

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 you're ashamed of 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
Inlet of broken hearts
You're far from home
It's a perfect place to start

So this final verse
Is a contradiction
And the more we learn
The less we know

We've been talkin' 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
'Bout 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,)
Every breath is a fading crown we wear, (golden, child, you are,)
Like some debilitated king, (golden, don't let go,)
Don't let go tonight

Earth spins and the moon goes round' (golden, you are,)
Green comes on the frozen ground, (golden, child, you are,)
And everything will be made new again, (golden,)
Like freedom and spring, (golden, golden,)
Hey, like freedom and spring, (golden, you are, hey,)
Like freedom and spring (golden, child, you are,)
