Walking in a daze across the room
I stumble upon my shadow
Whose only purpose is to cling to me
Wherever I choose to go.

My only freedom from my devoted friend
Is when I close my eyes to sleep.
There, I find a solace
I forever long to keep.

To be free from my special friend
Is a dream I hope comes true.
When the time comes to make a choice
I know I'll make the right one too.

I know I don't want to be alone
I know right from wrong.
If my shadow is my only friend
Then I hope we'll get along.

I know in the event of my death
My shadow will be there for me.
A friend who's always been there,
And a friend he'll always be.
