Lyrics
A Shadow that Desires Light
Verse 1
A foolish shadow
Dreamed of shining bright.
He gathered up his courage
And stepped into the light.
No one even noticed.
He confirmed his deepest fears.
A shadow in the light
Just disappears.
Chorus
Am I a diamond
Hiding out of sight?
Or just a shadow
That desires light?
Verse 2
A diamond in the darkness
Sheds no light of its own
It might be mistaken
As just another stone.
But the sun reveals the truth
Brilliant and strong.
A diamond in the light
Is right where it belongs
Chorus
Bridge
It's so important to me
What I have to say
Won't someone listen
And not just turn away
I try so hard to put
My heart into words
But deep down I fear that I'm not
Worth being heard.
Chorus
