Eric Woolfson The Golden Key

When I was born

No silver spoon in my hand

No trumpet blew

No bells rang out in the land

Nobody said life would be easy

Nobody promised me an island in the sun

(Sun, sun, sun)

For all my life

I've walked as tall as I can

Among the crowd

A small invisible man

I wasn't born to be a hero

I have to make the dream become reality

I know that somewhere there must be

A golden key

And a reason to believe

There is freedom in the air

And it's easier to breathe

A golden key

That will open any door

And the truth that lies within

Is no secret anymore

I fill my shoes

And walk wherever they go

A man of straw

For every wind that may blow

I have to take control of my life

I want the world to see

A different side of me

Unlock these chains and set me free

A golden key

To a castle in the air

And a heaven here on earth

Will be waiting for me there

A golden key

To the place I want to be

On an island in the sun

And the hero would be me

Don't want to live my life in silence

One taste of paradise

Is all there has to be

(All there has to be)

All there has to be

(All there has to be)

Set me free

A golden key

To a castle in the air

And a heaven here on earth

Will be waiting for me there

A golden key

And my life would be complete

With a crown upon my head

And the whole world at my feet

The Golden Key
