Shadow dreams, dreams of a shadow

The analogy of a shadow dream
Dreams are to shadows as your shadows are to your dreams
In the deepest of the darkness it seams as though they're gone
In the light they are visible, yet intangible and illusive

Your shadow is the true validation of the fact that you exist
Hence shadow dreams and here we go

Shadow dreams they seem so distant
But the light is strong and no you can't resist it
Keep on pushing, hold out your hand
But light is your friend go on in 'Caroline'

It's always darkest before the light
Nothing's worth having if it's not worth a fight
No love without labor, no labor, no love
Draw on the strength bestowed from above

What can go wrong will go wrong
But if you fall of a horse just get back on
"I have a dream" the man stated
A shadow dream that he chased to his grave

Just because a dream is lurking in the shadows
Doesn't mean that you should just forget it
I mean you work and you push, and you sweat, and you toil
And you strive, and drive till you get it shadow dreams

Shadow dreams, dreams of a shadow
(Shadow dreams)
Shadow dreams, dreams of a shadow

Every dark cloud is hiding a silver lining
But don't forget to mobilize, keep on climbing
Do all you can to keep your shadow alive
Because your not far behind if your shadow dies

Make sure you stop and you check tonight
That your shadow is behind you when you walk through the light
'Cause a man without a shadow ain't a man at all
I mean I take it just for granted that my homies on the wall

Kids see the shadows and they wanna play
But sometimes their stolen, taken away
Adults are the thieves, the kids get robbed
Throw away that shadow boy go and get a job

Just because the dream is lurking in the shadows
Doesn't mean that you should just forget it
I mean you work and you push and you sweat
And you toil and you strive and drive till you get it shadow dreams

Shadow dreams, dreams of a shadow
(Shadow dreams)
Shadow dreams, dreams of a shadow

Fourteen years old I used to want a beamer
I guess you could say I was what you'd call a shadow dreamer
I told my father that I didn't think I'd ever get in
I said, "I might as well just forget it"

My father said, ?Son, don't be talking so dumb
Hard work and education makes anything come
And plus a shadow dream ain't as far as ya seem, son?
You used to be a shadow dream

Life is a mystery but let's check history
To see how many people's shadow dreams came true
And if the other people's shadow dreams were equal
Then why can't the next shadow dreamer be you

That's the philosophy I live my life by
When things get hard through the stress and strife I
Keep on pushing with a full head of steam
Like a train through the tunnel to my shadow dream

Shadow dreams, dreams of a shadow
Shadow dreams, dreams of a shadow
Shadow dreams, dreams of a shadow
Shadow dreams, dreams of a shadow

Shadow dreams, dreams of a shadow
Shadow dreams, dreams of a shadow
