lyrics

your soul rose unexpectedly
but you knew, you wanted to fly
like a caterpillar
impatient to become a butterfly

transformation gave you wings
no crawling up staircases no elevators
but
wings to fly off to freedom

don’t fear the shadows
they just mean there’s a light shining somewhere
don’t fear the shadows
they just mean there’s a light shining somewhere

i hope to rise in this life
not by passing on to the next

don’t fear the shadows
they just mean there’s a light shining somewhere
don’t fear the shadows
they just mean there’s a light shining somewhere

but i grow weary sometimes
at those times, i need you most
to hold my heavy heart
refill my life’s force
light a flame so i can see
where to place my feet
while i wade my way
through the dark

remind me
not to fear the shadows
they just mean there’s a light shining somewhere
don’t fear the shadows
they just mean there’s a light shining somewhere
