Shadows of a Dream

In the depths of my soul, a silent cry,

Lost in the shadows, wondering why.

There's a lonely feeling I carry deep down in the depths of my soul.

It has been there all along.

Even in a crowd, I'm still alone.

I've searched my whole life for somewhere I belong,

But this sadness never let me feel at home.

I dreamt someday someone who cares to understand me would come along,

And a few times I certainly thought I'd found that one,

Yet in the end, it seems each time I have been wrong.

Holding onto hopes that fade away,

Drowning in the gray.

Where's the light I used to know?

Lost in the undertow.

Sometimes it all comes crashing down on me in waves,

And now I hear the breakers roar,

As they carry me farther from shore,

Pulling me down.

Nothing is as it seems,

This life is but a dream,

A dark and hollow dream.

No, it's not what it seems,

I'm telling you it's all a dream,

A sad and lonely theme.

Searching for a sign in the night,

Hoping for dawn's first light.

Echoes of what I once knew,

Fading like the morning dew.

But in the darkness, I still believe,

There's a new dawn to conceive.

Though the shadows might persist,

Hope is a story that still exists.
