The Shadows of Our Lives

Written by JWE and me: The shadows in the light Shine in your eyesight now Let me hold you tonight Shadows will follow you home It will lead you wherever you roam Somehow… The shadows will lead you home from strife Shelter you from destruction tonight The shadows will lead you home all your life The shadows tonight will be your light All the things you shed upon me Is the shadows of the light All the things you hide from me Is the shadows of the night I want to be next to you right now The shadows will lead you home… Somehow… Somehow… The shadows of our lives Will see us through right now It's inside of you You'll see it through The shadows of darkness Will turn into shadows of light You got to see it through That the light's inside you You got to free yourself now Shadows will lead you home… Somehow… The shadows will lead you home from strife Shelter you from destruction tonight The shadows will lead you home all your life The shadows tonight will be your light All the things you shed upon me Is the shadows of the light All the things you hide from me Is the shadows of the night I want to be next to you right now The shadows will lead you home… Somehow… Somehow… The shadows of our lives Will see us through right now It's inside of you You'll see it through Don't run away without a trace We're walking together in this race Heard your voice in the background Doubt tries to make us captivity-bound We won't be seperated for life… If we end this unbearable strife... Somehow… The shadows will lead you home from strife Shelter you from destruction tonight The shadows will lead you home all your life The shadows tonight will be your light All the things you shed upon me Is the shadows of the light All the things you hide from me Is the shadows of the night I want to be next to you right now The shadows will lead you home… Somehow… Somehow… The shadows of our lives Will see us through right now It's been inside of you Know it'll see you through The shadow's light will see us through this race of grace Darkness is all around us now, but we'll make it through The light inside you - you and I must soon embrace Before the dusk draws near and makes the dawn blue The light is still deep inside you Eventually, you'll see it through Wherever you roam, You'll find home
