about

Written for a friend who was struggling to accept their shadows. A reminder you don’t have to be perfect to celebrate who you are.

lyrics

Am. G. F. G
I'm drawn like a moth to the bright and to the broken
F. Em. Dm. Em
I've listened with my heart to more than what you've spoken
F. G. Am. G
The shadows in your eyes are like the mirror of my own
Dm. Am G. Am
And they beg me to remind you that you need not be alone.

Am. C
So reach out your hand
G. Am
And step into my heart
F. Am
Love is a gift
G. Am
And the giving's an art

Am. G. F. G. Am
Solitude can be a haven or a prison of your making
C. Em F G. F
A sanctuary to heal or the place you go on breaking
Em C Am. F
And the shadows that protect you, can do so all too well
G F G. Am
Guards who will not let you leave your safe protective shell

C. F/C
Build yourself a door my friend
Dm. Em
And choose who gets the keys
G/D. F/C. C
Choose wisely who you let inside
Am. G
And when you choose to leave
C. Dm
Let your shadows be your sentries
Em. F
Teach them how to guard your heart
Dm. C
Help them recognize a friend
G. Am
And know when to stand apart

C. Am
Learn to dance among your shadows love,
F. G
And show them you've no fear
Em F
For they are still a part of you
C
So let them all appear
F. G
And the truth shall have its moment
Am. Dm
For the broken and the bright
C. Em
When they meet at last on common ground
G. Am
The darkness and the light

So reach out your hand
And step into my heart
Love is a gift
And the giving's an art

I'm drawn like a moth to the bright and to the broken
I've listened with my heart to more than what you've spoken
The shadows in your eyes are like the mirror of my own
And they beg me to remind you that you need not be alone.
