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 deepness of the darkness it seems as though they're gone
in the light they are visible
yet intangible and illusive
your shadow is your 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 pushin'
hold out your hand
the light is your friend
go on in Carrol Anne
there's always darkness before the light
nothin's worth having if it's not worth a fight
no love without labor
no lobor, no love
draw on the strength bestowed from above
what can go wrong will go wrong
but if you fall off 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 lurkin' in the shadows doesen'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

every dark clould is hidin' in a silver linin'
but don't get demoralized, keep on climbin'
do all you can to keep your shadow alive
cause your not far behind if your shadow dies
make sure that you stop and check tonight
that your shadow is behind you when you walk through the night
cause a man without a shadow ain't a man at all
i mean i take it just for granyed that my homeys on the wall
kids see the shadows and want to play
but sometimes they're stolen, taken away
adults are the theives
the kids get robbed
throw away that shadow boy
go and get a job
just because a dream is lurkin' in the shadows doesen't mean 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

14 years old
i used to want a beemer
i guess you could say i was what you would call a shadow dreamer
i told my father i didn't think i'd ever get it
i said i might as well just forget it
my father said Son don't be talkin' so dumb
hard work and education makes anything come
and plus you're shadow dream isn't as far as it seems
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 dream 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 heard of steam
like a train through a tunnel to a shadow dream
