i am a child of the shadows
hiding behind the trees
or whispering in your ear, the breeze

i am a child of the shadows
shifting into a lark
can you hear me cry?
fading into the dark
no, you lie

because i am a child of the shadows
who cannot be seen
how can people be so mean?
i am already gone
down in the murky pond
water flowing over me
washing me away
