Lyrics to "Golden" by Huntrix

[Verse 1: Rumi, Zoey & Mira]
I was a ghost, I was alone
어두워진 앞길속에 (Ah)
Given the throne, I didn't know how to believe
I was the queen that I'm meant to be
I lived two lives, tried to play both sides
But I couldn't find my own place
Called a problem child 'cause I got too wild
But now that's how I'm getting paid, 끝없이 on stage

[Pre-Chorus: Rumi]
I'm done hiding, now I'm shining like I'm born to be
We dreamin' hard, we came so far, now I'll believe

[Chorus: Rumi]
We're goin' up, up, up, it's our moment
You know together we're glowin'
Gonna be, gonna be golden
Oh, up, up, up with our voices
영원히 깨질 수 없는
Gonna be, gonna be golden

[Post-Chorus: Rumi]
Oh, I'm done hidin' now I'm shinin' like I'm born to be
Oh, our time, no fears, no lies
That's who we're born to be

[Verse 2: Zoey, Mira & Rumi]
I was a spark, lost in the dark, never enough
Thought I was less, a total mess, I had it rough
They called me out, said I was down, I'm not the type
But watch me now, I'm breaking out, I found my light
No more disguise, I see the skies, I'm taking flight
I'm amplified, I'm verified, I'm shining bright
From dusk to dawn, I'm moving on, no holding back
We're running strong, we sing this song, we're on the track

[Pre-Chorus: Zoey & Mira]
I'm done hiding, now I'm shining like I'm born to be
We dreamin' hard, we came so far, now I'll believe

[Chorus: All]
We're goin' up, up, up, it's our moment
You know together we're glowin'
Gonna be, gonna be golden
Oh, up, up, up with our voices
영원히 깨질 수 없는
Gonna be, gonna be golden

[Post-Chorus: All]
Oh, I'm done hidin' now I'm shinin' like I'm born to be
Oh, our time, no fears, no lies
That's who we're born to be

[Bridge: Rumi, Zoey & Mira]
Standing tall, we won't fall, we are golden
Hearts align, stars will shine, we are golden
No more pain, break the chain, we are golden
Destiny, set it free, we are golden

[Chorus: All]
We're goin' up, up, up, it's our moment
You know together we're glowin'
Gonna be, gonna be golden
Oh, up, up, up with our voices
영원히 깨질 수 없는
Gonna be, gonna be golden

[Post-Chorus: All]
Oh, I'm done hidin' now I'm shinin' like I'm born to be
Oh, our time, no fears, no lies
That's who we're born to be

[Outro: Rumi]
Gonna be, gonna be golden
Oh, we're gonna be golden
