In all of us lives, like the soul, a shadow
When light shine on you it's beside you
It'll never leaves you like a good fellow
Do things you do, stick to you like glue

Don't find it in the dark as it'll withdraw
Not to a place unknown, the silhouette
Is you, can't own part or all of it by law
Of the universe, not for sale, not for let

Without a shadow of a doubt it's yours
That intergral part of you like the limbs
Light's feeder of shadow's only source
Via sun moonbeam or artificial means

The length of your shadow determined
By slanting trajectory angle of the light
For transparent bodies don't contained
Any shadows yet opaque bodies might

The rules applicable to all living things
And every non livings by the same role
Eon times since planets going in rings
In light in darkness of the deepest hole

See a boy, an eerie wall by candlelight
Casting a distorted figure as his hands
Conjuring a rabbit a dog a bird in flight
Light's back then his joy suddenly ends
