Its Hard To Follow Your Shadow
You left and went away and I took over
It’s been a hard cross to bear heavily on my shoulder
Everyone misses you and wants you back
I’ve tried my best to pick up the slack
To walk a mile in your footsteps is difficult I know
It’s hard to follow your shadow
I had the wind knocked right out of me and my ship has no sail
If they’re was two of me trying to catch up I still would fail
You were a friend to many and loss is great
I try to move forward but it’s hard to relate
To walk a mile in your footsteps is difficult I know
It’s hard to follow your shadow
You showed everyone else how to truly live
Gave everything you had until there was nothing more to give
You were above and beyond all of the rest
I cannot be you only myself but for your memory I’ll try to do my best
To walk a mile in your footsteps is difficult I know
It’s hard to follow your shadow
