Golden

In my short time I've realized
 That there is so much more to life
 Than getting older
 And getting mine
 This is my ready, set, let go attempt
 At finding who I am
 And I'll be brief
 So listen closely
 I've learned not to talk through movies
 When I still don't know the lines
 I've learned who not to ask advice from
 When I can't make up my mind
 When times get tough I've learned
 That breathing is the best thing I can do
 And I've learned letting go of friends
 Is something I won't get used to
 I've learned a fair amount about the world
 Of women and of love
 I've learned that money doesn't always mean
 Deserving one or both of the above
 I've learned it's hard to be alone when you're alive
 But somehow I have learned that we won't be alone
 When we all reach the other side
 Something in my heart is telling me I've learned to love
 Oh, I've become
 I know my learning isn't done
 But oh, I'm afraid I will never quite understand
 The way I wish I could know
 Everything I would ever need just in case
 I ever lose my way
 I've learned not to lie to people
 Who know me better than my words
 And I've believed I've learned to filter out
 The voices in my head (But I'm still not sure)
 I've learned failure's not an option
 It's frowned upon and rude
 And giving up before the bell
 Is something I've learned not to do
 I've learned how to keep my head
 Above the water line in desperate times
 I've learned to swim when someone lonely
 Ties an anchor to my leg in spite
 I've learned to fight
 The difference between wrong and right
 How to sleep at night
 You know I still don't have that cartridge
 But I'm learning how to live in black and white
 But oh, I'm afraid I will never quite understand
 The way I wish I could know
 Everything I would ever need just in case
 I ever lose my way

 We are golden because we're alive
 We are nothing without our goodbyes
 Illuminate our own way from inside
 We shine so bright, we shine so bright
