I See You In the Shadows

I see you in the shadows
something misshapen
moving through the dark.
I am not afraid of what you are
just come here closer
reach out for my hand
and I will do what I can
to release your confined....

No more tears, no hiding in fears.
No more pain, no longer insane.

I see you in the shadows
where looks are deceiving.
You're a gentle monster
would never harm a fly.
You are not a vampire
fearful of the sunlight
just come here closer to me
I am reaching out my hand
take it, step up into the sun....

Warmth to feel, know it is real.
No more sorrow, with love in tomorrow.

I see you in the shadows
and I see a reflection of me
cause I've been there
lived a life of solitude
away from prying eyes.
All I wished for was a hand
to come closer to pull me
free from the depths
and reintroduce me to day....

A shy smile, hidden for awhile.
Ran away from home, now left to roam.

I see you in the shadows
you are beautiful to me
we are all blemished
on the surface and deep inside.
Come to me, even closer now
your hand rests in mine
I feel your trust grow
you break away from the shell....

A new start, a revived heart.
We are free, no more shadows to see.
