A time to laugh, a time to cry And beat the darkness into light We'll write our names across the town Up is up and so is down . Forgive your lovers, but don't forget their names And let their spirit remain Stay gold, gold You shine the light for us to follow, gold You shine the light for us to follow, gold You shine the light for us to follow . The stings/stains on our fingers just won't go Chrome letters, outlines, arrows fall The words took off, we watched them fall The desire of my mind is now written on the wall . Forgive your lovers, but don't forget their names And let their spirit remain Stay gold, gold You shine the light for us to follow, gold You shine the light for us to follow, gold You shine the light for us to follow . How vast the darkness We disappear into the light Follow the torch we made In the end, we're all made of gold And now I know, I will not be saved Unless I follow And now I know, I will not be saved Unless I follow . Stay gold, gold You shine the light for us to follow, gold You shine the light for us to follow, gold You shine the light for us to follow . If you lead, I will follow .
