Golden Child

[Verse 1]
Hush now and sleep tonight, dry your eyes
Summer rain will fall gently, gently in the moonlight
The stars awake, I heard them say
"It's safe now, so rest, oh pretty little golden child"
(golden child, golden child, golden child, golden child)

[Verse 2]
I must have fallen deep in a dream
I woke up in another world
But I'm hoping it's real 'cause I'm loving just what I see
Broken chains, no more pain
Just love and soul, a new world for every little golden child

[Bridge]
The future will bring brighter days
And the Earth will move at the sound of change

[Verse 3]
No more killing in the name of God
Turning babies into firing squads
No more blood flowing on the streets
'Cause the color of skin is all we see
No more daddies trying to get away
Leaving cribs without a loving sway
We need a people who will reconcile
And make a way for every little golden child

[Verse 4]
No more brothers turned against brothers
Quick to forget they got the same mother
And no more lovers turned to enemies
Trading hope for hearts of broken dreams
I need a world where we lay down our weapons
Stop all the hating, it's time we learn our lesson
And, in my dream we overcoming our trials
And finding peace for every little golden child
Oh, yeah

[Verse 5]
A future bringing brighter days
Moving at the sound of change (ooh)
It's time we overcome our trials
And find peace, love and new world for every little golden child
Oh baby, won't you dry your eyes
'Cause it's safe now, a new world for every little golden child
