Running With Shadows Lyrics

Morning sun, 5 mile run

Start too fast, like out of a gun

Mile 3, my body says, Yeah I think we're done

And then ahead I see

This runner shaped like me

And he keeps keepin' on, oh ever so relentlessly

There's something 'bout the way he runs ahead, it wears me out

But I can't catch him, ask him, Hey man, what's this all about

It seems I'm running after shadows

It seems I'm running after this man who's ahead of me

Will I always chase these shadows

Or if I run at noon

Or if the clouds roll in

Or if the sun goes down

Will I finally run alone, and be set free

Please leave me be

So then I turned and ran

The other way, and I lost that man

But right away I knew it wasn't such a brilliant plan

'Cause now there's this other guy

Who's on my heels, and he can fly

And I can't shake him, lose him, fake him, no matter how hard I try

I turn my head, and ask him, Hey man, do I know you

He says, If I'm familiar, well, I'm a runner you once knew

It seems I'm running away from shadows

It seems I'm running away from this man chasing after me

Will I always flee these shadows

Or if I run at noon

Or if the clouds roll in

Or if the sun goes down

Will I finally run alone, and be set free

Please don't run after me

But over time I realized

These two men were on my side

One to lead, and one to cheer

I came to see, I needn't fear

Over time I realized

These two men were on my side

One to lead, and one to cheer

I came to see, I needn't fear

One to lead, and one to cheer

I came to see, I needn't fear

I came to see, I needn't fear

I came to see, I needn't fear

Have you seen, we needn't fear

So now I'm running along with shadows

Now I'm reconciled to these two men who lead and follow me

I'm not running away from shadows

So I don't wait till noon

And I don't pray for clouds

And I don't hide till the nighttime

No, I'm happy now to run with shadows

To run with shadows

I run with shadows

Running with shadows
