golden sunlight

hand over hand

i crawl 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

oh

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

when 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

the songs and the flowers

oh

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

yeah

what if i could just let my guard down

and go beyond into the great unknown

sweetheart

i've been bothered

a golden sun lit path

i've been after

grass hills

wild flowers

sharp road trails

for a daughter

i want to be her father

i want to hear her laughter

under meteor showers

the 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

yeah

what if i could just let my guard down

and go beyond into the great unknown
