My friend's name is Tree
We grew up in the same place, side by side
I reached for the distance
And he reached for the sky
We thought we were one under the sun's glow
But he called me shadow, said I was too low
He said I was dark, that I couldn't be bright
Called me a lower being, hiding from the light
God said that all are equal in view
But you're the one who said we're different, not true
Maybe I'm too young to know what's real
But I know in my heart, this isn't how I feel
I'll cry once when you said those things
And again when you're cut with no more rings
I'll cry only twice in my life, you see
Though I'm the shadow, I'll stay with thee. That's what makes my soul still free
Hello, I'm called Shadow, you see
The gift that the sun gave to the tree
Hello, I'll be a shadow 'til I die
Until the tree falls, I'll be right by your side
God, the people have started to fight
Should I kill to protect this life, so bright?
Or should I offer my cheek and soul
As you will, should I give my whole?
Seasons have changed, and the winds start to blow
The roots that once bound us, they start to grow slow
I see your leaves fall, but I'm still here
Though I'm the shadow, I've nothing to fear
You reached for the sky, but forgot what's below
And I stayed in your shade, where sunlight won't go
But even in darkness, I've learned how to see
For we're bound together, you and me
I'll cry once when you said those things
And again when you're cut with no more rings
I'll cry only twice in my life, you see
Though I'm the shadow, I'll stay with thee. That's what makes my soul still free
Hello, I'm called Shadow, you see
The gift that the sun gave to the tree
Hello, I'll be a shadow 'til I die
Until the tree falls, I'll be right by your side
God, the people have started to fight
Must I slay to keep what's right?
Or give my cheek, my life away
And let your will decide today?
We thought we were endless, like the sky and the earth
But now I know the meaning of worth
Even as shadows, even as light
We're bound together, through day and night
I'm the shadow, the mirror of you
Reflecting your strength, even when you're through
So when you're gone, and the world's in despair
I'll be the reminder that you were there
I'll cry once when you said those things
And again when you're cut with no more rings
I'll cry only twice in my life, you see
Though I'm the shadow, I'll stay with thee. That's what makes my soul still free
Hello, I'm called Shadow, you see
The gift that the sun gave to the tree
Hello, I'll be a shadow 'til I die
Until the tree falls, I'll be right by your side
God, they've started to take lives away
Do I defend or let them sway?
Should I turn my cheek and life for free
Or fight to save what's left of me?
