Deep, lingering in the shadows
Crept the things that hunt me
Watching and plotting
In the shadows for
All of my time
All of my life
Clawing at my heals
And entangling my skirts
I was watching over my shoulder
Into the shadows for
All of my time
All of my life
But then that day came
When I became their slave
When I was caught up in their trap
Pulled into the shadows for
What felt like all of my time
All of my life
But somehow I survived
Even though haunted
And left in my own bird cage
Left alone in the shadows for
What seemed like all of my time
All of my life
But I kept constantly watching
Patiently I lay in waiting
For you; my tomorrow
Looking out of the shadows for
What I thought was all of my time
All of my life
Then the feathers fell
From the light you dwelled
Reaching out to me
Saving me from the shadows
Hopefully for all my time
All of my days
Now I lay protected
The darkness can't reach me
When I'm here in your arms
Away from the darkest shadows
Safe for all of my time
All of my days
