“A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.”
― John Lennon


Look up to them, look down on me
Not my fault so set me free
I live in their shadow
All i am is an afterglow

Life in the shadows, isn't that bad
Could be worse, i could be sad...
If i was the one casting the shadows...
I wouldn't be able to talk walks in meadows...

I couldn't imagine being Shadow.
But some day each Shadow... will fall like a domino
Then they are forgotten
And drop down to the bottom...

But life in the Shadows is hard
I want my name to be seen, not the one to disregard.
Even if i am better then the rest...
I will never be more then second best.

I see what the Shadows do
I wish i knew what they knew
I have never been the Shadow
So here i am... still walking in a Meadow...
