Living a life in the shadows
feeling all the pain of everyone
every single day
people ask how do you know so
my answer is I am a Shadow
a man of the night
who plays with all his might
A man that plays for keeps
and lets the world see
in time that man behind the mask
and the one that completes every task
behind the scenes
and no one knows he means
well here is the answer
I do it for what is mine
those people that I'll risk all the time
those that I'll give my Life
I pray that one day everyone will understand
and be able to have someone to take them by the hand
and lead the way to that light at the end of the tunnel
and if they ain't got one I'll be there for ya'll
you just got to call
