Golden Sunlight

[Verse 1]
Hand over hand, I crawled back to land
There is no retreat, that option’s far and away
I have to be brave, but I always did crave
The golden sunlight
It’s been about me, but I’m setting that free
For golden sunlight

[Chorus]
There’s a door open to walk through
All I want is, just beyond
What if I could let my guard down
Into freedom, on and on

[Verse 2]
Somehow it came out, what I can’t talk about
Someone to help me, as free as I wanna be
I cannot erase, but you helped me face
The songs and the flowers
At last, perception of my self-deception
And then the songs and the flowers, oh-oh

[Chorus]
There’s a door open to walk through
All I want is, just beyond
What if I could let my guard down
Into freedom, on and on

[Post-Chorus]
What if I could just let my guard down
What if I could live wide open, yeah
What if I could just let my guard down
And go beyond into the great unknown

[Bridge]
Sweetheart, I’ve been bothered
A golden sunlit path I’ve been after
Grass hills, wildflowers
Chaparral trails for our daughter
I want to be her father
I want to hear her laughter
Under meteor showers
Our dogs will howl at the midnight hour

[Chorus]
There’s a door open to walk through
All I want is, just beyond
What if I could let my guard down
Into freedom, on and on

[Outro]
What if I could just let my guard down
What if I could live wide open
What if I could just let my guard down
And go beyond into the great unknown
