Red & Gold

(album: Young Rising Sons - 2014)

My soul is burning
I've got a flame growing high
You couldn't put out this fire
Even with your cold stare of eyes

My heart is aching
Because I'm hungry for more
I dress my eyes up in courage
Even if I'm knocked to the floor

I had to fall
Before I learned to stand up
Repaint these walls
A brighter shade of red and gold
What's lost is lost
But now I'm gonna stand up

If you can crawl
Then you can stand up!
Been through it all
I've been up and down and up again
If you can crawl
Then keep your head up!
Just keep painting those walls
A brighter shade of red and gold
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh. Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh. Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
Brighter shade of red and gold

I've been let down
But I've got some hope in disguise
I'll make it through all these cold days
Even if I gotta stay inside
You know the sun's finally rising
I see the frost turn to gold
I've got this young love inside me
Must be what's burning my soul

And I had to fall
Before I learned to stand up
Repaint these walls
A brighter shade of red and gold
What's lost is lost
But now I'm gonna stand up

If you can crawl
Then you can stand up!
Been through it all
I've been up and down and up again
If you can crawl
Then keep your head up!
Just keep painting those walls
A brighter shade of red and gold
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh. Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh. Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
Brighter shade of red and gold

(Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh. Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh. Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
Brighter shade of red and gold)

(Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh. Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh. Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
Brighter shade of red and gold)

I've been right and I've been wrong
The shades down the blinds are drawn
I've been around this block before
I found the key, unlocked the door
My heads high I'm feeling strong

You just need to carry on
Just keep painting those walls
A brighter shade of red and gold

If you can crawl
Then you can stand up!
Been through it all
I've been up and down and up again
If you can crawl
Then keep your head up!
Just keep painting those walls
A brighter shade of red and gold

(Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh. Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh. Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)

If you can crawl
Then you can stand up!
Been through it all
I've been up and down and up again
If you can crawl
Then keep your head up!
Just keep painting those walls
A brighter shade of red and gold
