Title:
“Shadows in the Sun”
Full Song Lyrics with Chord Progression:
Verse 1 (G – D – Em – C):
The sunlight fades, the waves are cresting high,
(G – D – Em – C)
A lonely island, beneath the painted sky.
(G – D – Em – C)
We stand together, but we’re apart,
(G – D – Em – C)
A motionless island, with a beating heart.
Chorus (Am – C – G – D):
Shadows in the sun, but we’re not done,
(Am – C – G – D)
We’ll fight the fight, we’ve just begun.
(Am – C – G – D)
For in the darkness, we find our light,
(Am – C – G – D)
Motionless Island, burning bright.
Verse 2 (G – D – Em – C):
Through the stormy weather, we find our way,
(G – D – Em – C)
A beacon of hope, at the break of day.
(G – D – Em – C)
The world around us, it may whirl,
(G – D – Em – C)
But in our hearts, no storm can unfurl.
(Repeat Chorus)
