Golden Child Lyrics

The right way to breathe
Amongst  the leaves
Always  to move and lighten
The armour of youth

Youth are people too
They  roar like lions
Childlike  underneath
There lies the need

The  right way to be
Behind the scenes
Daily to feed and water
The flower of youth
Youth  are people too

You dance around it
The golden child
You try to hold it
But he slips right out of your arms

And you try to mend me
But i won't be led
And we end up making
A deal to stay awake, just awake

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
