Title:

“Tomorrow’s Shadows”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Am G F E
In the realm of tomorrow’s shadows, where the sun forgets to rise,
Am G F E
I found myself lost and lonesome, beneath the starless skies,
Am G F E
Conversations with my reflection, in a windowpane disguise,
Am G F E
It’s a quest to find redemption, where tomorrow’s shadows lie.

(Chorus)
C G Am F
Wake me up when the morning comes, and the night has had its cries,
C G Am F
With the dawn, we’ll dance in the sun, beneath the clear blue skies,
C G Am F
For in the realm of tomorrow’s shadows, we’ll find our surprise.

(Verse 2)
Am G F E
In the echoes of the whispers, in the corners of my mind,
Am G F E
I’ve been running from the specters, of the life I left behind,
Am G F E
In the realm of tomorrow’s shadows, it’s peace I hope to find,
Am G F E
A solace from the chaos, in the sanctum of the blind.

(Chorus)
C G Am F
Wake me up when the morning comes, when the shadows have their demise,
C G Am F
With the dawn, we’ll dance in the sun, beneath the open skies,
C G Am F
For in the realm of tomorrow’s shadows, our destiny lies.
