the golden age

lyric + music by skylark

 

i live beside you

we are the chosen few

we share this home for a thousand years

but take a look around and you’ll see

we leave a stain on a page of history

as the words of hope are lost in a stream of tears

 

but if we learn to love we can turn to another page

where we will live in peace together in the golden age

and working hand in hand i know we’re gonna make a change

we can set the stage to live together in the golden age

 

we waste this homeland

then fail to understand

why the children hope we will even leave a world behind

but do we really try

do we cry

or do we close our eyes and live a lie

the lessons learned make the fate of all mankind

but if we learn to love we can turn to another page

where we will live in peace together in the golden age

and working hand in hand i know we’re gonna make a change

we can set the stage to live together in the golden age

 

everyone young and old

moving to the age of gold

living life a better way

every day a golden day

 

flying to a higher ground

happiness and freedom found

give a child a golden pearl

show the way to live upon a golden world

but if we learn to love we can turn to another page

where we will live in peace together in the golden age

and working hand in hand i know we’re gonna make a change

we can set the stage to live together in the golden age
