Golden One​*​*

about

You can go to the mountain; you just have to come back.

lyrics

When we were young
Kicking rocks and picking up words
We believed everything we heard
We hurried down the halls

The world was the size of my room
It was painted on the walls
Well, every continent fell
We hurried down the halls

When you left
You were the golden one
You were the only one
One step closer to the sun
These colors seemed not bright enough

When at long last you came down
From your castle on the hill
All the young ones running still
Singing down the halls

When you left (Lay me down near the sun)
You were the golden one
You were the only one
One step closer to the sun (Lay me down near the sun)
These colors seemed not bright enough
