Lyrics

GOLDEN THREAD

We all are born into our world to die and be reborn
If only in our dreams, only in our dreams
With blinders on open our eyes to every passing dawn
More fleeting than it seems, more fleeting than it seems

And every morn there is a golden thread
We receive one new chance every day
But unaware, instead of weaving cloth
We weave a web of golden holes, throw the threads away

Round and round just like a child
Skipping in a circle til she's bored and tired
All grown up, forgetting how to play
That the only way is living life just like a child

It hangs down low, it shimmers with the light of heaven's glow
Begging to be seen, begging to be seen
And even so we brush away the threads we need to sew
Like cobwebs in a dream, cobwebs in a dream

And carelessly we stare into the sun
Burning our eyes when all the while
a golden light shines kindly

Round and round just like a child
Skipping in a circle til she's bored and tired
All grown up, forgetting how to play
That the only way is living life just like a child

Just like a child, like a little girl
Just like a child, skipping in a circle
Just like a child, here we go again
Just like a child, don't you think that we'd have learned by now
