Arkansas Lyrics

i see a golden tree underneath a light that wants to be
golden like the tree, but it can never be
the blood thats in my veins cannot spill the life that i have gained
i buried all my treasure in the ground

but will you say, 'enter good and faithful man' to me on that final day

i found it hard to feel love inside the castle i had built
a welcome day when it came crashing down
i guess these hands werent made to shape the everlasting in a day
i should've known it was a song

that i will sing...hallelujah to my king
in that day when all my tears are wiped away
in that day when only joy remains

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
