Shadow by Soja
Shadow
The entire song repeats throughout as follows:
[C] - [C] - [F] - [F] - [C] - [C] - [G] - [G]
I'm not a shadow
I'm not the ground beneath your feet
I'm not a shadow
When you look down you won't see me
I stand up and I stand tall
I don't follow anyone
I'm not a shadow
'Cause I'm not a shadow
Yo...Here's to you who don't settle
And never separate
And never be quiet
'Cause the words you say
You'll never go back on
And never turn around
Never judge another
'Cause how stupid it sounds
'Cause when you see others
Knowing they're all brothers
Knowing they're all sisters
Seeing the big picture
If they're not with you than they're against you
And we are here now when they are way back when, so
Why try to please everyone when it seems all the people really want
Is to show love out and to get love back
Is to show some faith and to get respect
Just look at the world and you look at the problem
And look at the hatred and we still can't solve it
So look inside and you'll find step one
Forget a dime and I am shining like the sun
I'm not a shadow
I'm not the ground beneath your feet
I'm not a shadow
When you look down you won't see me
I stand up and I stand tall
I don't follow anyone
I'm not a shadow
'Cause I'm not a shadow
Here's to you on your own
The innocent criminal
You never fit the mold
You never go sit down
You never go get approval
No matter how you prove
That love is the motive in everything you do
And revolution is you and you're against the machine
You know who you are and you know what I mean
And when this record stops, you will never slow down
And when the video is over, you want your turn now, so
You make the truth and move it straight ahead
While the followers behind you get left for dead
Before the imminent brainwashed follow the dumb rules
Created by individuals, someone like you who
Don't care for the world, or care for the people
They love it their way and they love unequal
And they love when they feel above someone
I don't follow the leader when they're all wrong
I'm not a shadow
I'm not the ground beneath your feet
I'm not a shadow
When you look down you won't see me
I stand up and I stand tall
I don't follow anyone
I'm not a shadow
'Cause I'm not a shadow
