lyrics

The Shadow That I Cast
By Christopher Bosca

Verse

Up here watching life go by just
Sitting on the porch, feeling
Sorry for myself I know I’ve
Got to drop that torch

I hang around and rock away, and I
Don’t have much to say
Friends come by to tell me “hi”
I wait to say goodbye

Weeks ago I told myself I’d
Give me one day
Now I know that now’s the time
Before I’m old and grey.

I look out past the edge of town
And I see the green hills rise
I feel my heart is growing now
To twice its normal size.

Chorus
One hand on the railing and my
Feet are in the air, they
Hit the ground and away I go I’m
Off without a care

Fire in my eyes
I have Rockets in my arms
I think that I will push off hard and
Fly across the yard

Verse
Down the stairs and out the gate and the
porch is out of site
A dollar coffee shop and some
Used cars on the right

Motel neon tells me
There’s vacancy today
But I don’t want a
place to stay
I am moving on my way.

Yesterday when I went out I was
Feelin’ mean and tough
Everyone took aim at me, they
Treated me real rough

When I left the house today
I was armed with just my smile
I guess that they can see in me
I’m innocent and mild

Chorus
The shadow that you cast
Is the one that follows you
Sometimes you can’t see in it
What other people do.

The light from within you is the
one that see you through and
The path you have to take is the
one that you will make.

Repeat verse II

Chorus/Outro
Climbing higher
Crawling over rocks
Inching toward the edge
Just to see what lays beyond.

The shadow that I cast
From up on the mountain
Is longer than the river
And moving twice as fast

Longer than the river
And moving twice as fast.
Longer than the river
And moving twice as fas
