Verse 1/Chorus: Shadows and light Running in the night Knowing what our eyes can see It’s a mystery Verse 2: Things go in the night (It's) Something scary, right? Can I see what’s up ahead ... Or just follow the light? Bridge: Can’t you see with you own eyes... You know that I'm hanging on? Don’t you even know or care where you’ve been? Can’t you believe in something you cannot see? Do you know beyond a shadow of doubt? Repeat Chorus Solo Repeat Bridge Verse 3: A new bird in flight; (Into the) scenic roaring sky; The light gets brighter as the day turns to moonlight Verse 4: Shadows of the night; Can reflect our sight; Obscuring the clouds of our minds at times, seems so bright; Repeat Bridge Repeat Chorus Outro

Repeat Chorus (x2) Outro … I’ve got the message for you
