Shadows Do Not Lie

I see in the shadows
What I could look like
What I would look like
Afterall, shadows do not lie.

I see in the shadows
A better man
One of Dignity
One of Respect
An honest man
Afterall, shadows do not lie.

I see in the shadows
A man who is loved
A man who has friends
A man who I want to know.

I see in the shadows
The man i want to be
The man I try to be
Afterall, shadows do not lie.

I see the shadow who follows me everywhere
Mimicry or mockery?
I see the shadow trying to be me
But always not quite making it
I want to be my shadow
Afterall, shadows do not lie.

I see in my shadow
A man I always wanted to be
I see in my shadow
A man who has always been there
Who is the man
Who is just the shadow of a man?

Come be the light
The light that makes shadow and man
One.
Shadows do not lie.
