Title: “Shadows in the Sunlight”
Full Song Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
(Am) Look around, (G) feel the ground, (F) see the world spin (C) around
(Am) Life’s a play, (G) night and day, (F) we all have parts (C) to play
(Am) Sunlight fades, (G) shadows made, (F) the moon takes (C) the stage
(Am) In the dark, (G) make our mark, (F) underneath the (C) starlit arc
[Chorus]
(Dm) Shadows in the sunlight, (G) can you feel the call
(C) Whispered secrets, (Am) echoed in the hall
(F) Stand in the moment, (C) let your spirit soar
(G) Shadows in the sunlight, (Am) what we’re living for
[Verse 2]
(Am) Time will tell, (G) stories well, (F) under its (C) magic spell
(Am) Love and loss, (G) at what cost, (F) the lines we’ve (C) crossed
(Am) Cast a wish, (G) in the abyss, (F) a moment’s (C) bliss
(Am) Day and night, (G) wrong or right, (F) in the subtle (C) light
[Chorus]
(Dm) Shadows in the sunlight, (G) can you feel the pull
(C) Dreams and nightmares, (Am) reality’s full
(F) Dance in the moonlight, (C) let your spirit fly
(G) Shadows in the sunlight, (Am) under the infinite sky
