Am
We don't ask for the doors to close in this life
So we hoping they keep 'em open
And if they shut those doors we'll smash the skylight
'Till it's broken and smell the roses
Need to take that time to find our own road
So we focused on what's golden
And our gold don't shine it's not from no mine
So we're not just living for a token
