Shine and Shadow

Shine and shadow

I've been here, standing
i've been there, waiting
i'll be there, smiling
i'll be here, hoping

under the shadow I hide
as I hide my fears, in vain
them come out, at night

i'm looking at the dark
waiting for a light to come
waiting for you to shine again

illuminate this place again
with your bright eyes
them bring the hope we need

is not a fake, is not a tale
shine has shadow, shadow has shine
come on, shine on, enlight us

bring us your wisdom
enlight us with your knowledge
don't leave us on the edge
let us get to your kingdom

we want to feel your freedom
we need to hear your words
we need the hope you bring
we want you shine among this dark

far far away from home we are
far far we are from what we wanted to be
close close we are to be rescued
near near we are being born

under your bright eyes
we look at your face
bless us with your hands
bring us your light

light our weight,
make this shadows vanish
make all the street shines
they hope you bring, just that

shines that bright
shadows that vanish
and we in the middle, grey
