Shadows of Our Lives

Verse 1:
We walk inside of our own shadows
And never truly see ourselves
We look all that we can't find
Inside the eyes of someone else
They say the grass is greener
That's hard to say when it won't grow
The dirt is muddied by the rains
As the world spins out of control

Verse 2:
We're all looking for the answers
As we stare into the mirror
The reflection looking back
Says that the answer isn't here
In the crosswords of our lives
We don't seem to have a clue
So we wander in the darkness
In a search for something true.

Chorus:
And you, you are my friend
You'll be my friend until the end
When it seems you can't go on
I'm still here to call upon.
Life is full of ups and downs
As the world keeps turning 'round.
Just take it play by play
And you will make it through today.

Verse 3:
We sit on the rocky riverside
And pick stones up from the shore
Skipping them toward anywhere
Wishing there was something more.
The water ripples far away
In a perfect harmony
All we need exists in front of us
Sometimes it's just so hard to see.

Chorus:
And you, you are my friend
You'll be my friend until the end
When it seems you can't go on
I'm still here to call upon.
Life is full of ups and downs
As the world keeps turning 'round.
Just take it play by play
And you will make it through today.
