(Do Not) Stand In The Shadow Lyrics

Hearts which beat to a precise beat
Fading shadows on the wall
We'll cut our cards, drive out bars
All for one, one for all

Like a teenage heat and carnival cheats
With your heart on your sleeve
Well, you know you wanna run, you won't hide
And you jump like a son of a gun

Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows

Oh, alone and lonely
Watching people on my wall
Well, Mama and Dadday thought they had me fooled
I was thinking not at all

Well, I got out not gonna stand
In the dark without a light
Forgetting love if you believe
That chance sit and wait

Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
Dodging evil in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows

Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows

And now the judge is down feeling all around, yeah
Lifting to a blast this sound
No preachers, teachers, pick our minds
To the sounds of false alarm

They're here today and they hear you say
You're alive and you're living with me
So don't try to hide and don't try to die
In the dark of the night

Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows

Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
In the shadows, in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
