in the shadow Can you imagine what of life it is to live? In the shadows people see you as and free Because that's what you want to see two lives, happy, but not free You live in the for fear of someone hurting your family or the person you love The world is changing and they say it's to be free But you live the fear of just being me Living in the shadow feels the safe place to be No harm for them, no for me But is short, and it's time to be free Love who you love, life isn't guaranteed
