Golden Cage

Lyrics

[Intro] The clock ticks. Walls crumble. Gotta look deep. Listen. [Verse 1] Raised in a cage where the gold had to shine, If the business was good, then the family was fine. The company ruled like a sun in the sky, But love had a price, and the price was too high. Built up a fort, kept my hands to myself, No touch, no connection, just facts on the shelf. I said: "Childhood is nonsense, it matters no more, Life only starts when you cross thirty’s door." Locked up the memory, buried the keys, Thought I was safe from the cold and the breeze. But those golden handcuffs were burning my skin, Fighting for pride in a game I can't win. [Chorus] But Que Sera, Sera, it goes how it goes, Letting go of control as the heavy wind blows. Solo per Oggi, I live for today, The peace in my soul washes chaos away. It’s a battlefield, falling down till it hurts, But time always shows that the storm clears the dirt. [Verse 2] Then I hit thirty, the glass started to break, In the middle of night, I was frozen awake. I saw the whole game, but the vault was just bare, No applause from the mother, no love waiting there. Brought boxes of gold, tried to make myself seen, But you can't buy a glance from a cold, distant queen. So I quit the battle with those who are blind, Shook the dust from my feet, left the system behind. No hate in my heart, they just did what they knew, Radical acceptance is making me new. I dug in the dark where the memories bleed, And I found a new spirit with all that I need. [Chorus] Yeah, Que Sera, Sera, it goes how it goes, Letting go of control as the heavy wind blows. Solo per Oggi, I live for today, The peace in my soul washes chaos away. It’s a battlefield, falling down till it hurts, But time always shows that the storm clears the dirt. [Verse 3] They ask me if I am religious right now, I say church and the dogma are useless somehow. I see God in the cosmic, the flow and the force, The Tao is the energy steering the course. The lines in the Bible are maps for the mind, To help us grasp concepts we can't quite define. Like Job in the whirlwind, when everything broke, He saw the true universe right through the smoke. The world is too big for a human to guide, I don't hold the ocean or govern the tide. It’s hard to believe when the doubt hits your head, But time shows that peace comes from trust instead. Stop chasing the wind, stop the analytical fight, That's the exact moment you step in the light. [Outro] Sailing on my own strength now. Leaving the dock behind. No more heavy weights. Solo per Oggi... The splinter is out of my eye. The log is gone. It is well.
