Songtexte Shadow - feat. Trevor Young (of SOJA) - SOJA

I'm not a shadow
I'm not the ground beneath your feet 'cause I'm not a shadow
When you look down, you won't see me, I stand up and I stand tall
I don't follow anyone, I'm not a shadow
'Cause I'm not a shadow, oh no

Here's to you who don't settle and never separate and never be quiet
'Cause the words you say, you'll never go back on and never turn around
Never judge another 'cause how stupid it sounds
'Cause when you see others, know when they're our brothers
Know when they're our sisters
See in the big picture if they're not with you, then they're against
And we're here now when they are way back when

So, why try to please everyone when it seems all the people really want
Is to show love out and to get love back?
Is to show some faith and to get respect
Just look at the world then you look at the problems
And look at the hatred and we still can't solve it
So look inside and you'll find step one
Forget a dime and I'm shining like the sun

'Cause I'm not a shadow
I'm not the ground beneath your feet 'cause I'm not a shadow
When you look down, you won't see me, I stand up and I stand tall
I don't follow anyone, I'm not a shadow
'Cause I'm not a shadow, oh no

Here's to you on your own the innocent criminal
You never fit the mold, you never go sit down
You never go get approval no matter how you prove
That love is the motive in everything you do
When revolution is you and you're against the machine
You know who you are and you know what I mean
And when this record stops, you will never slow it down
When the video is over, you want your turn now

So you make your truth and move it straight ahead
While the followers behind you get left for dead
And for the imminent brainwash, you follow the dumb rules
Created by individuals who unlike you, don't care for the world or care for the people
They love it their way and they love unequal
And they love when they feel above someone
I don't follow the leader when they're all wrong

I'm not a shadow
I'm not the ground beneath your feet 'cause I'm not a shadow
When you look down, you won't see me, I stand up and I stand tall
I don't follow anyone, I'm not a shadow
'Cause I'm not a shadow, oh no, no
