"He who forgets, will be destined to remember..."

Young Rising Sons - Red & Gold

My soul is burning, I’ve got a flame growing high
You couldn’t put out this fire even with your cold stare of ice.
My heart is aching because I’m hungry for more
I dress my eyes up in courage even if I’m knocked to the floor.

And I had to fall before I learned to stand up
Repaint these walls a brighter shade of red and gold
What’s lost is lost, but now I’m gonna stand up

If you can crawl then you can stand up
Been through it all — I’ve been up and down and up again
If you can crawl then keep your head up
Just keep painting those walls a brighter shade of red and gold
Woh woh oh oh oh, oh woh oh oh oh, oh woh oh oh oh
A brighter shade of red and gold

I’ve been let down but I got some hope in disguise
I’ll make it through all these cold days even if I gotta stay inside
You know the sun’s finally rising; I see the frost turn to gold
We got this young love inside me — must be what’s burning my soul

And I had to fall before I learned to stand up
Repaint these walls a brighter shade of red and gold
What’s lost is lost, and now I’m gonna stand up

If you can crawl then you can stand up
Been through it all — I’ve been up and down and up again
If you can crawl then keep your head up
Just keep painting those walls a brighter shade of red and gold
Woh woh oh oh oh, oh woh oh oh oh, oh woh oh oh oh
A brighter shade of red and gold

oh woh oh oh oh, oh woh oh oh oh, oh woh oh oh oh
a brighter shade of red and gold
oh woh oh oh oh, oh woh oh oh oh, oh woh oh oh oh

I’ve been right, and I’ve been wrong; the shade down, the blinds are drawn
I’ve been around this block before — I found the key, unlocked the door
My head’s high, feeling strong; you just need to carry on
and keep painting those walls a brighter shade of red and gold
