Shadow Song Lyrics by Samara Jade

Wave of Birdsong

2019

Hello my friend, let’s go out to play
It's a beautiful, bright, and sunny day
Please tell your shadow they can come along too
For without them I wouldn't be me, you wouldn't be you
What if we walked our shadows like dogs—
Took 'em for a stroll out around the block
We'd take them to the shadow park
Let them off the leash
They’d run around and bark
It would be such a release
It would be such a release
If we could all share our grief
It would be such a relief
No need to lock 'em up
Leave them at home
Nervously gnawing away at our bones
We'd take em out for exercise—take 'em outside
Maybe the demons would flee once they were blinded by the light
They'd be blinded by the light
There'd be nowhere they could hide
They'd be blinded by the light
But my shadow thinks that it’s stuck in a cave or in the bottom of a well all alone
But if it could see that we're all the same:
All we want is to love and feel loved
And feel at home
So thank you for being so vulnerable my friend
‘Cuz that's the only way that our tender hearts can mend:
To air out our shadows for the world to see
To know that we're not alone, and we'll never be
We're not alone and we'll never be:
All drops of water in the same old sea. x 5
So hello my friend, let's go out to play
It's a beautiful, dark, and stormy day
Please tell your shadow that they can come along too
For without them I wouldn't be me, you wouldn't be you
