[Verse 1]  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?  Its always darkest before the light  Nothing's worth having if its 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    [Chorus]  Shadow Dreams  Dreams of a shadow (shadow dreams)  Shadow Dreams  Dreams of a shadow    [Verse 2]  Every dark cloud is hiding a silver lining  But don't forget to mobilise, 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 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    [Chorus]    [Verse 3]  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 lets check history  To see how many peoples shadow dreams came true  And if the other peoples shadow dreams are equal  Then why cant 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    [Chorus 2x]    Uh ha  Shadow Dreams  Dreams of a shadow...
