Before a word is spoken

Everything is broken

Even what your hid inside

The world has let you down

Wrung shame out of your pride

Even as you falter

Like sunlight on the water

You shine on my face

This darkness in your heart

It's just a shadow in the way

Oh a shadow in the way

Oh it's just a shadow in the way

When the fire leaves

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

Oh just a shadow in the way

Oh it's just a shadow in the way

Oh just a shadow in the way

Oh just a shadow in the way

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

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

Oh it's a shadow in the way

Oh it's just a shadow in the way

Oh it's a shadow in the way

Oh it's just a shadow in the way

Oh it's just a shadow in the way

Oh it's just a shadow in the way

Oh it's just a shadow in the way

Oh it's just a shadow

It's just a shadow

It's just a shadow

Oh it's just a shadow in your way

Oh it's just a shadow in the way

Oh it's just a shadow

It's just a shadow in the way

It's just a shadow in your way
