{Verse 1}
Cm Cm D# G#
You’re a boat in the ocean of everything that you reach for

It’s a sea of
Gm G#
Your perceptions

Cm D# G#
And it’s filling up, giving a human a reason to give in
Dm Cm
Overflowing
Gm G#
With intention
[Chorus]
Fm G#
Why are you trying
G# A# Cm
To fit in a box that nobody opens
Cm Gm
Just sittin’ on a shelf
Gm D#
All black and white
D# Fm
Your colors and your shapes
Fm Cm
Are golden
Cm A#
You’re golden child
G# G#
Why are you crying
G# Gm Fm
To fit in a box that nobody opens
Fm Fm
Your colors and your shapes
D#
Are golden
Gm
You golden child

But what about all of the beautiful sights you’re missing

When you’re looking

What's ahead instead of what’s around

To fit in a box that nobody opens

You golden child
