Lyrics for Golden Girl
Her home is a jungle A struggle to survive Her street's too hot to handle Makes your blood run cold as ice But there's no evil strong enough... oh no Her faith in love will rise above Keep on shinin' golden girl Light a candle for the world Take your fire from inside Warm the darkness - light the night Bring your heaven to the ground Never let them tear it down So much soul when you're glowin' golden girl Her heart cries out yearning For those without a prayer But the dues she pays unending Is the cross she chose to bear And there's no evil strong enough... no no Her faith in love will rise above Keep on shinin' golden girl Light a candle for the world Take your fire from inside Warm the darkness - light the night Bring your heaven to the ground Never let them tear it down So much soul when you're glowin' golden girl And there's no evil strong enough... no no Her faith in love will rise above Keep on shinin' golden girl Light a candle for the world Take your fire from inside Warm the darkness - light the night Bring your heaven to the ground Never let them tear it down So much soul when you're glowin' golden girl Won't you keep on, won't you keep on Won't you keep on, won't you keep on Keep on, keep on shining Keep on shinin' golden girl Light a candle for the world Take your fire from inside Warm the darkness - light the night Bring your heaven to the ground Never let them tear it down So much soul when you're glowin' golden girl
