about

Written for my friend, Denny, who was a rhythm and blues nut. When he found out he had a terminal cancer to deal with, we spent an evening listening to some of his great music collection and it inspired to write this tune for him that has a gospel feel to it. Even in the worst of times, there is some hope.

lyrics

Shadows
(by John Beccia)

Inside the shadows, there's nothing to be scared of
Inside the shadows, where everything must die
But when the sunlight erases any darkness
Then all the shadows.....will disappear into the sky

Inside the shadows, the reaper will be waiting
Inside these shadows, where all our futures lie
But when the sunlight erases any darkness
Then all the shadows.....will disappear into the sky

CHORUS -
I see the light that shines, I see the light inside the shadows
Nothing that we decide, no sense in trying to deny
I see a light that shines, I see a light inside these shadows
All of our needless fear will disappear into the sky

Inside the shadows, the greatest change is calling
Inside the shadows, we spread our wings to fly
But when the sunlight erases any darkness
We are the shadows that disappear into the sky


REPEAT CHORUS
