My Shadow is Me

[Verse 1]
Underneath the vast, open sky,
A country boy wandering, I never knew why,
The fields feel heavy, the mountains so tall,
A whisper calls softly, saying don’t fear at all.
I heard a child’s voice, so gentle and clear,
Telling me, son, embrace what you’re near.
The land is a giant, but you’re not small,
With every step forward, you’ll stand proud and tall.

[Chorus]
On light and in land, I grow real large,
My shadow is me, and I and the land.
It’s always on my back, gives a place to grow into,
Big unbound, bigger with light, that’s true.

[Verse 2]
In the golden dawn, I start to chase dreams,
My shadow stretches out, dancing through beams.
I see it leaning into the morning light,
A companion, a guide, making everything bright.
Once I was afraid of the things I could not see,
But the deeper I venture, more I find me.
With every adventure, I learn and I feel,
The strength in my shadow, a spirit that’s real.

[Chorus]
On light and in land, I grow real large,
My shadow is me, and I and the land.
It’s always on my back, gives a place to grow into,
Big unbound, bigger with light, that’s true.

[Bridge]
Caught in the breeze, I run wild and free,
A melody plays, and it’s calling to me.
No longer a boy, but the man I become,
With my shadow beside me, I no longer feel numb.
The worries are whispers, just echoes in time,
With each step I take, I reach for the climb.
Embracing the vastness, I’ll never feel small,
My spirit whispers gently, there’s room for us all.

[Chorus]
On light and in land, I grow real large,
My shadow is me, and I and the land.
It’s always on my back, gives a place to grow into,
Big unbound, bigger with light, that’s true.

[Verse 3]
So here’s to the moments, the laughs, and the tears,
My spirit awakened, I conquer my fears.
The sunset embraces, every hue in the sky,
I dance with my shadow as the night draws nigh.
In the stillness of twilight, I hear that sweet sound,
The voice of my heart, where the love can be found.
With the land as my canvas, the light as my guide,
I stand tall and mighty, with spirit and pride.

[Outro]
On light and in land, I’m forever large,
My shadow, my spirit, my heart on a charge.
Together we flourish, letting dreams take flight,
Big unbound and free, illuminated by light.
