I try hard to make you smile

Towards the light, I want you to fly

Tell me, my shadow who you walk with me

Shall we fly ?

Mornings that bring me hope

I fake even the pain, for your sake

Loneliness, I know it's hard to cope

Even then, I care for your ache

I try hard to make you alive

Towards the dream, I want you to get by

Tell me, my shadow who you walk with me

Shall we fly?

Inspiration, that I preach

I fake even the rain

The trap, I know I'm in it

Even then, I try to jump out and attain

I try hard to set you free

Towards the world, I want you to breathe

Tell me, my shadow who you walk with me

Shall we fly?

Who understands me, closer than you

Then why nights give you tears

And, I have to caress you

Like I fill happiness in my eyes

Towards the light, I want you to fly

Tell me, my shadow who you walk with me

Shall we fly?
