lyrics

Golden by Ajay Srivastav

Floating on a lotus in the astral seas
I was caught in the gaze of a Maharishi
Who said child you are wild
I think it’s time to set you free
With my power of birth, I grant you life
Take your step into the world I will be your guide
And here’s a little mantra to help you
On your way.

We are golden. Golden because we’re alive
We are golden. Golden because we’re alive

Rolling down the road into Rishikesh
Tryna clear my mind it was a little mess
I meditated and I waited
in the shade of a mango tree.
A voice so blue called out my name
Said take your youth and play your game
Use what you need
Said the deity

We are golden. Golden because we’re alive
We are golden. Golden because we’re alive

Dangling in the darkness of the universe
I was fearing my death, or something worse
In the shadow of a trident
a voice called out to me.
It said, I’m here to ease your pain of your worldly strife
Destruction is the path to a new kind of life
So pack your soul, take control
We’re going to a higher plain.

We are golden. Golden because we’re alive
We are golden. Golden because we’re alive

Ajay Srivastav London, UK

Described in the music press as ground-breaking, Ajay’s soulful, stirring songs are the product of a crossfire hurricane of influences, drawing equally from the Mississippi Delta that sired the Blues and the Varanasi Ghats where prayers, birth-rites and coming-of-age ceremonies are performed beside the Ganges. ... more
