INTRO: VERSE I Before a word is spoken, everything is broken, even what you hid inside The world has let you down, wrung shame out of your pride But even as you falter, like sunlight on the water, you shine on my face The darkness in your heart, it's just a shadow in the way Oh, just a shadow in the way Oh, oh, it's just a shadow in the way VERSE II When the fire leaves you, when no one believes you, when you give yourself away To a stranger on the road, who gives you nothing in exchange Even when the door shuts, even though the night cuts, like a silver blade In the morning you will find, it's just a shadow in the way CHORUS (repeat) BRIDGE Though we're caught in the darkness, don't be afraid Though we're caught in the darkness, don't be afraid This world of sorrow, it's just a shadow This world of sorrow, it's just a shadow, it's just a shadow VERSE III Got to get up again, and let the light in, throw your tears away That mountain looks so high, it's just a shadow in the way CHORUS (repeat & fade)
