Shadow of a Doubt
Shadow Of A Doubt
Weighing on my heart and soul
my fears they run so deep.
I went to bed to rest my head
and soon fell fast asleep.
I began to dream it seems
all I could do was look.
Visions passing through my mind
like pages in a book.
I saw me as a little boy
I’m playing in a park.
I hear my mother calling me
come in, it’s getting dark.
Ignoring all her cries for me
convinced I’ll be alright.
I turned my back, slipped through a crack
and went deeper in the night.
My dream then changed and rearranged
I’m older in my room.
Shades are drawn I’m all alone
it feels more like a tomb.
Peering through the blinds I shut
from the inside looking out.
I’m trapped here in the darkness
of a shadow of a doubt.
I looked in time to see me there
the day I took the Fall.
I cleared my mind in time to find
it’s not a dream at all.
