(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 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 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
You’re far from home, it’s a perfect place to start

(Yeah!)
(Burn)
(Burn, Burn!)

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,
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)
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

The Earth spins and the moon goes round (Golden, you are)
The green comes from the frozen ground (Golden, Child, you are)
And everything will be made new again (Golden)
(Like freedom in spring) (Golden, Golden)

Hey, like freedom in spring, (Golden, you are, hey)
Like freedom in spring (Golden, Child, you are)
(Gold…)
