More Than A Shadow

Late at night, I stare at the ceiling and I look to my right

And see the only sliver of light

In a dark room.

Creating shadows and making shapes.

Isn’t it great how being young can fuel imagination?

What if I said I want to be more than just a shadow?

I want to feel outside the box.

And wishing makes me hopeful

But dreaming’s not enough.

I want to be able to say I left something behind

That you call your inspiration.

 

You’ve got to understand, I am who I am.

Either take it or leave it.

But I will tell you now, it won’t be worth your time

To try to change it.

Maybe I’m a little bit insane,

But I just think of this life as a game I’ve got to play

To prove I can win it.

 

What if I said I want to be more than just a shadow?

I want to feel outside the box.

And wishing makes me hopeful

But dreaming’s not enough.

I want to be able to say I left something behind

That you call your inspiration.

 

Every step of life is just another piece to add on to our puzzle.

And we won’t know what it’s supposed to look like until it’s over.

So, I guess I’ll stick around and just come out

Where the sun shines.
