	This piano work is the first of ten finely-crafted and enchanting melodies from the album. I like to think of it as a musical journey through my childhood and the experiences of growing up.

	Story Behind the Song In high school, I read a book by Lucy Maude Montgomery called "The Golden Road." It was about a group of kids who got together in the summer, shared many great adventures, and then departed when the new school year began. The story deeply moved me as I, too, was about to part ways with my high school friends. So the name "The Golden Road" stuck with me. During my freshman year at Oglethorpe University in Atlanta, Georgia, I struggled with depression. Like many college students, I wrestled with the question, "What is truth?" I had to come to grips with the fact that not everything I grew up believing was true. And it was through writing the poem, "The Golden Road," that I began to see that God was actively working through my daily experiences to bring me to a place of maturity. He wanted me to grow up. The apostle Paul put it this way, "When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me." (1 Corinthians 13:11)
