lyrics

We paint our faces bright
To outshine the sun
We cruise in chariots
Underneath the palms

This is our place
These are our streets
Our secret corners
Try to make us small
Like we don’t belong
But we won’t fracture

We are gold
Like sun on the water
The first day of summer
Leaving home
We are gold
Got no scars to cover
Can’t fade the color
When we know
We are gold

They’re trying not to stare
But we own the light
See them whispering
But we won’t be quiet

Try to hold us down
Make it hard to breathe
We keep on rising
We’re not going home
We’re where we belong
Look at that horizon

We are gold
Like sun on the water
The first day of summer
Leaving home
We are gold
Got no scars to cover
Can’t fade the color
when we know
We are gold

Gold
Sun on the water
Can’t fade the color
Gold
The first day of summer
Can’t fade the color

Gold
Sun on the water
Can’t fade the color
Gold
The first day of summer
Can’t fade the color

We know we are
We know we are
