switchfoot - golden

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'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
You're far from home, is the perfect place to start

See 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 fading crown we wear
Like some debilitated king
Don't let go tonight

The earth spins and the moon goes round
The green comes from the frozen ground
And everything will be made new again
Like freedom in the spring
Like freedom in the spring
Like freedom in the spring
