This song is about original blessing, and original nature, and maybe even the Tao.
The Golden Child:
V1:
I can’t attend this wandering
mind
Out of step not out of time
And there’s no real chance I’m ever gonna let this slide
Waiting here, waiting for the Golden Child.
V2:
Been stripped bare / this novice trial,
Messages sent but they never arrive,
And you feel it growing strong, deep and wild,
Just waiting here, waiting for the Golden Child
Change/Chorus
The room is empty and left, left for you,
And the door is closed to those, who never knew,
And they choose to live their lives so far outside,
Never ever dreaming of the Golden Child.
V3.
Bags were packed, for sweet denial
The bus heads down those roads you don’t require
And you know deep down, there never was crime nor trial
Waiting here, waiting for the Golden Child
Interlude:
V4:
Questions are asked - most at night,
The answers come through, travelling light,
Burning hard and long is this beautiful fire,
Oh..Waiting here, waiting for the Golden Child.
Waiting here, yeh waiting for the Golden Child.
The Golden Child,
The Golden Child,
The Golden Child,
Waiting here, waiting for the Golden Child.

Just beautiful! I loved the layered picking on the guitar and your vocals are just perfectly suited to the style, lyrics and melody. One of the nicest songs I’ve heard on FAWM today
