Lyrics:

Verse 1:
[G] Felt like a shadow, lost in the [D] night
[Em] Dreaming in black and white, [C] trapped in a fight
[G] Closed off from love, [D] lost in the sight
[Em] of a world [C] full of shadows, devoid of light.

Chorus:
[G] But then you walked in with the [D] light,
[Em] Turned my darkness into [C] delight
[G] Now I’m more than just a [D] shadow,
[Em] Cause you’ve illuminated my [C] life.

Verse 2:
[G] From the shadows, we [D] rise,
[Em] Carving our path in the [C] skies,
[G] No more hiding, no more [D] cries,
[Em] We’re the shadows in the [C] light.

Chorus:
[G] We’re the shadows in the [D] light,
[Em] Rising, soaring to new [C] heights,
[G] No more fear, no more [D] night,
[Em] We’re the shadows in the [C] light.
