In the shadows for me

I’ve stood on the shoulders of giants to get to where I wanted to go They gave me my life and laid down their lives for me No matter the wrongs I did they loved me Look forward they would say Look to your heart they would say

Be mindful of yourself and of others I hear them say Today I live my dream, my life with a heart I desire Mommy and Daddy stood in the shadows for me I’m here today in the light they shone onto me

Mommy and Daddy stood in the shadows for me For that I know the wonder of my life From the breadline to my bed each night they sang to me Their heart was rich, their soul divine Together they left me with so many treasures

I rock my babies to sleep and remember their songs Mommy and Daddy stood in the shadows for me Their voices of angels I hear them sing Up front and center my darling, raise your arms and sing

In the shadows for me, yet always my light Together they were one soul for me A trio who sang together as one heart Mommy and Daddy stood in the shadows for me

I live and breath each song they sang In the shadows for me, Mommy and Daddy The power of their love shone bright on me The wonder of our life from the breadline to my life

Mommy and Daddy stood in the shadows for me
