Golden Again

(yeah... mmm)
I thought I lost me...
But I found gold in the ashes.

I carried shadows, wore 'em like skin (mmm)
Thought my brokenness was all I'd ever live in.
But pain had a purpose, storms had a plan,
Now I'm rising, with the sun in my hands.

Every scar, a map of where I've been (where I've been)
Every tear watered something within (yeah)
I'm not who I was, I'm better than then...
My light was dim, but it's burning again.

I'm golden again (golden again!)
Shining brighter than I ever did then (mmm)
Turned the hurt into healing, the loss into win,
I was broken, but baby, I'm golden again. (ohhh)

I used to beg for pieces, settle for less,
Now I glow heavy 'cause I learned from the test.
They thought the fire was the end of my story (nah)
But I came out refined, wearing glory. (woo!)

Every fall became a place I grew (I grew)
Every "no" made room for something true (so true)
Now the cracks just let the sunlight in (ahh)
I'm not perfect, but baby, I'm golden again.

I'm golden again (I'm golden, golden!)
Shining brighter than I ever did then (ever did then)
Turned the hurt into healing, the loss into win,
I was broken, but baby, I'm golden again. (yeahhh!)

They said the pain would take me out... (but it built me)
They said the heartbreak would drown me... (but it crowned me)
Everything I thought was breaking me-
God was shaping me.
Now look at me... glowing.

Golden again! (golden, golden, golden!)
Brighter than I ever did then (ever did then!)
Turned the hurt into healing, the loss into win (into win, into win)
I was broken, but baby, I'm golden again... (golden againnnn!)

Golden... (mmm, yeah)
I'm golden again.
Golden... again.
