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
