lyrics

Shadowsong

I cannot say for sure that I have fallen
I cannot say I hear a higher callin’
But I know that on this place on my path
There is not yet peace in my heart
Do the passions that I burn for and pursue
Give enough in return for the world I use?
Can I find a way to redeem the darkened dream?
Can all of this entwine? Will that way be mine?

I walk with my shadow circling me round
The circle of the sun traced on the ground
I wanna walk in the light with my feet on the ground
I walk with my shadow circling me round

I only did what I could with things I should
That door that opened to me, that destiny
So I return to word and song where I belong
Sometimes I still tire, can’t find the fire

Sometimes from the embers try to remember, surrender
Into love, god, universe, being, words for ways of seeing
The truth that we all seek, the truth we share
The truth that I would speak if I would dare
The truth that we all hear somewhere, somehow
The truth that we all know is here and now

Oh and in the end it’s all just talk
Cos the truth is here in the way I walk
And I walk with my shadow circling me round

I walk with my shadow circling me round
The circle of the sun traced on the ground
I wanna walk in the light with my feet on the ground
I walk with my shadow circling me round
