Golden Sunrise By Josh Woodward (Lyrics)

The song I have chosen to do is Golden Sunrise by Josh Woodward. www.joshwoodward.com

Golden Sunrise lyrics 
Sheltered from the sunlight
In the shade beneath the tree
We hide behind the shadows
Like an orphaned refuge

The apple tree of knowledge
Shed its fruit along the way
The injury is fading but the
hungers here to stay
until the day that there’s no memory 
of what we used to be 

golden sunrise
close your eyes
found your dark skies
made you blind

the heads all 
turn the darkness
when the sun engulfs the sky
the brightness overwhelming
to the unadjusted eye

we’re taught to follow blindly
like there’s nothing here to see
the slave to some philosophy
will somehow make you free
then you will be so gladly handcuffed
enlightened from above

golden sunrise
close your eyes
found your dark skies
made you blind

with ignorance or virtue
question is a sin
is there no remedy
for the state that we are in?
with knowledge
it like an old disease
we wont be awake to see that we are free

golden sunrise
close your eyes
found your dark skies
made you blind

another day of darkness for the ones that have seen the light
broken eyes are shining in the darkness of the night
never see the beauty of the world as it is

The song is about how ignorance is bliss. There is a deeper meaning to the song. I think the artist is saying that a greater power is hiding the truth from us and we are taught to follow a crowd. If we break away from the crowd then we are in danger. The sunlight can be seen as knowledge, People are not allowed to question. Life is happier without them having the knowledge of the truth. They're not allowed to see the truth and if they do they are forced to stay away.
