Before a word is spoken,
Everything is broken,
Even what your hid inside
The world has let you down, wrung shame out of your pride

But even as you falter,
Like sunlight on the water,
You shine on my face
This darkness in your heart, it's just a shadow in the way

(Chorus)

Oh, a shadow in the way,
Oh, it's just a shadow in the way

When the fire leaves,
When no one believes you,
When you give yourself away
To a stranger on the road who gives you nothing in exchange

Even when the door shuts,
Even though the night cuts
Like a silver blade,
In the morning you will find it's just a shadow in the way

(Chorus)

Though we're caught in the darkness, don't be afraid
Though we're caught in the darkness, don't be afraid
This world of sorrow,
It's just a shadow
This world of sorrow,
It's just a shadow
It's just a shadow

Got to get up agian,
Let the light in,
Throw your tears away
That mountain looks so high, it's just a shadow in the way
