golden, you are golden child you are golden don’t let go, don’t let go
tonight
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 singing crown we wear Like
some debilitated king Don't let go tonight
golden, you are golden child you are golden don’t let go, don’t let go
tonight

The Earth spins and your mind goes round The green comes on the frozen
ground And everything will be made new again Like freedom and spring
golden, you are golden child you are gold

Hey, like freedom and spring Like freedom and spring gold
