Golden Child Lyrics

I gave birth to the light of my life

When I was dead inside

How such joy could have grown and survived

I will never know

There I was in the darkest of nights

I have no control

Planted seed rose through cracks in the concrete

Made my broken house your home

And you were whole

When I was nothing but a shell

And you were golden

While I was trying to line our fate with silver

Old lies

Were telling me that I would ruin you

If I tried

Oh if I had tried to be what you needed

Casting shadows wherever I go

Quiet memories

Mark me down as the one you don't know

Gave you everything

Here I go still can't turn on the lights

Miss you every day

First mom problems my pain is in vain

After all it was the choice I made

And oh

I'm still nothing but a shell

And you are golden

While I'm still trying to line my fate with silver

Old lies

Still telling me that I would ruin you

If I tried

Oh if I had tried to be what you needed

Baby girl you're the light of my life

Never question that

Twice a year isn't nearly enough

But we'll make the plans

Give my love to your mother and father

Your new family

I'll be watching you grow from the shadows

Though it's killing me

But you are home

And you are loved by everyone around you

Golden

Oh you are golden child
