Shadow and Light

Where do you go?
When the shadow
follows you so......

To escape the shadow
Is to have the sun,
high above
Looking down so
Bathed in light
Bathed in love

This darkened figure
follows you so
The sun setting
It grows bigger

Keep the sun high
Sunlight above
Feel the love
Feel the high

This place
Between shadow and light
Dark space
Golden bright

Where do you go?
When the shadow
gets you down so

Step into the light
Where shadow
Cannot go
Enjoy golden bright
This is your right
