VERSE I
Before a word is spoken, everything is broken, even what you hid inside
The world has let you down, wrung shame out of your pride
But even as you falter, like sunlight on the water, you shine on my face
The darkness in your heart, it's just a shadow in the way
Oh, just a shadow in the way
Oh, oh, it's just a shadow in the way
VERSE II
When the fire leaves you, when no one believes you, when you give yourself away
To a stranger on the road, who gives you nothing in exchange
Even when the door shuts, even though the night cuts, like a silver blade
In the morning you will find, it's just a shadow in the way
CHORUS (repeat)
Though we're caught in the darkness, don't be afraid
Though we're caught in the darkness, don't be afraid
This world of sorrow, it's just a shadow
This world of sorrow, it's just a shadow, it's just a shadow
VERSE III
Got to get up again, and let the light in, throw your tears away
That mountain looks so high, it's just a shadow in the way
CHORUS (repeat & fade)
