ALWAYS A SHADOW



                                                                                     
 The sun comes up and the sun goes down,


                                                                            
 They're everywhere and always, make not a sound.


                                                                                    
 Shadows from clouds cast upon the ground,


                                                                                     
 As the sun goes down, shadows all around.


 Shadows upon the mountains in the early morning light,


 In the early evening, shadows that hide as darkness 
 Is in sight.

 Always a shadow, shapes and sizes stretched out across 
 The land,

 Shadows of figures, like ghosts, phantoms here and there.


 Always a shadow, we carry this with every step we take,


 Always a shadow even with the light still upon our face.
