Dont Live In the Dark Shadows of Your Life

Your on the inside looking out 
You cannot see what normal us all about
Locked down In agony and caged by fear
Break your chains and keep your faith near

Open your heart and don’t succumb to strife
Don’t live in the dark shadows of your life

A cloud of unhappiness blinds your eyes
Without light it will quicken your demise
It seems always to rain down on your parade
Rely on yourself family and close friends that you’ve made

Open your heart and don’t succumb to strife
Don’t live in the dark shadows of your life

Your sun is black it hurts from within
Release your pain from under your sun
Gain strength from the lord above
Hold on close to the one you love

Open your heart and don’t succumb to strife
Don’t live in the dark shadows of your life
