the shadow of the old man

[Verse] Walking beside an old man so slow A man who didn't like his shadow to show Trying to walk faster wanting to be free "Why do you follow me shadow? Leave me be [Verse 2] How much can you lose if you don't see yourself? The old man pondered not feeling himself Walking in silence his shadow by his side A steady companion their journey implied [Chorus] Yesterday's remnants in his thoughts Not much left to see the old man thought Turning left at the crossroads he went Looking back his shadow remained his friend [Verse 3] The old man walked on changing his form Until he vanished lost in the storm His shadow stayed behind a constant guide A reminder to look within and not hide [Chorus] Yesterday's remnants in his thoughts Not much left to see the old man thought Turning left at the crossroads he went Looking back, his shadow remained his friend Outro: So, let us learn from this story told To see ourselves we must be bold For our shadows will always be near Guiding us on through both joy and fear
