Gold

my thoughts have no meaning
without a song to sing them to
it's a waste of time and money
or so they've said to you
raise your eyes to the skies
keep your head high
these words need a melody or two


i'm only here to remind you
when angels sing golden words of hope
pull the curtain from the window
and let the light shine through
color all the darkness with
the longing of a thousand dreamers

are you ready for all of this
we're gonna walk down those streets
ignore the stares of the passersby
we're better than they'll ever know
can you feel the music playing
it's pulsing through our veins
keeping us alive inside and out

i'm only here to remind you
when angels sing golden words of hope
pull the curtain from the window
and let the light shine through
color all the darkness with
the longing of a thousand dreamers

tell me all your dreams come true
smile and tell me angels never cry
we're so many miles away from
all we ever thought we'd know
but are you happy, are you happy
this is shaking me up, upside down
but our names are in lights these days
