Golden Sunlight - 311

Hand over hand

I crawled back to land

There is no retreat

That option’s far and away

I have to be brave

I always did crave

The golden sunlight

It’s been about me

But I’m setting that free

For golden sunlight

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
