                                                       "Shadows"
                               Whose Shadow Are You Walking In?


See that shadow over there?
Is that the one your following?

Do you know who your following? Who was it here?
Have you walked past the spring?

Tomorrow is nearly gone, and today has not been,
No, somethings not right.

You repeat the words again.
How was that refrain.

Should of been today is nearly gone, and tommorrow has not been.
But still somethings not quite right.

And now you remember.
Remembering is hard to do, but you must you know.

So you think, the shadows are growing long, shadows are fading.
Your growing old.

And now you know the story that was told.
It is today, not yesterday, not tomorrow, but today.

The hour is late,
you know your fate.

Someone will die in the shadows tonight,
But who will follow, who will know their plight.

You look in the mirror,
The one looking back at you is a stranger.

Stranger still the one looking back at you has your eyes.
But how did you get here, and why.

Tears run down your face as you realize that the night was the fading shadows of your life.
You it was who walked in the shadows.

You followed no one, the shadow you walked in was your own.
Now you know there is no one ahead of you.

You were walking in your own shadow,
you look back and see someone following you.

Who could it be?
Suddenly you know it is me.

I have followed you,
as you have followed your heart.

Your shadow led the way.
Your heart guided your path, your shadow marked the way.

And now we have gone away.
Tomorrow is half gone, and today is never finished.

Always you are following your heart,
your feet are walking in the shadow of your heart.

You are my heart so I stare at the mirror as I get ready to follow you..
My shadow walks out the door.

I turn and follow...
Haunted by yesterdays, we walk thru the night.

My shadow and me.
Let us be...

My shadow and me, me and my shadow.
Together we walk out the door...

Tomorrow is past, tomorrow may never come,
you think we said this wrong, but no...

We walk within a circle of time.
Tomorrow is ever before us, yet it is behind.

Today is always under our feet.
No one sees as we weep.

Again we turn and walk away.
No more will we cry.

We have found the shadow we are walking in.
The shadow is mine.

Now we must go in.
Forever you will win.

Because we walk the shadows walk.
We walk the circle of time.

We no longer talk.
Just walk.

The shadows are silent.
Now we see our own eyes in the mirror.

It is our life that is in shadows.
Our life has been a shadow.

We stare at the mirror once more,
Insanity knocks at the door.

Insanity has come.
But no we will not walk that way no more.

We close the door,
Now we hang our shadow on the wall.

We close our eyes,
Never more will we wonder who's shadow are you walking in.

Because now we know.
With the morning light the shadows will have gone.

Closing our eyes.
The answers have came, the shadows are gone.

The light is bright.
Never will we fear the night.

Night is gone.
The day is bright.

Now no shadows to walk in.
All the shadows have gone.
