She’s like an open book
You know you never really knew her
Put her down always looking through her
She climbed down
She took it underground safer there
Where you could never reach her
Now she walks head held high
The truth is there and she will never back down
You can’t fight what you can’t see

Gold in the shadows
Gold, it’s safer there

He’s so strong
He knows you never really knew him
Another one you thought you could ignore them
And now he’s gone and you can’t find him
He climbed down hidden underground
Now he’s found there’s comfort in the sound, oh
You can’t fight what you can’t see

Gold in the shadows
Gold, it’s safer there
Gold in the shadows
Gold, it’s safer there

She climbed down
You know the place where you pushed her
It’s easy now, be careful what you wish for
What is buried just might grow
And you know you just might have sown

Gold in the shadows
Gold, it’s safer there
Gold in the shadows
Gold, it’s safer there
Gold in the shadows
Gold, it’s safer there

It’s safer there
It’s safer there
