In The Shadows

In The Shadows

 

Will I keep living there 

Knowing that there's much in here 

This person, this day that came my way

May it be that while tempted to stay there

I will reach out and shine my light

The shadows will then flee from sight

 

Hands reach pulling me from here

Knowing if I stay who will care

This person as, at some day, has much to say

I will yield not to the temptation to stay here

My light will shine if only I reach out

The shadows will flee, then I will shout

 

I've been supporting those on the stage

Other did their acts, crowds were amazed

This person as many a day, has much to offer

No temptation will hold me in this cloister

The sight of me will break forth as light

Shadows behind, this object shines bright

 

Then in my cogitation, lucid meditation

Is it wrong to stay in the shadows, oh so long

This person as any a day, can still sing along

The temptation is here, break from my sphere

Then why should that be for others to see

Nothing's wrong in the shadows, uniquely me
