The Role of the Shadow
The role of the shadow
The dark night sky passes
Behind the rising red sun's back
The shadow cast is
It is the hopeful shadow of everyone who starts the day.
The back of the blue beach
The shadow cast is
The shadow of the laid back
Behind the pine trees towering over the cliffs
The shadow cast is
It is the shadow of those who have suffered and endured
Under the willow
Behind the blue lake
The shadow cast is
In busy daily life
It is a shadow that shows the desire of those who want to rest.
Through buildings in the city
The shadow cast is
The shadow of the times and the shadow of those seeking happiness
After sunset, my back glows
The shadow cast is
Whose shadow is it?
