Amy Grant - Shadows

Chorus / Description : The song Shadows by Amy Grant explores the internal struggle between doing what is right and succumbing to temptation. While it does not contain direct biblical references, it reflects the biblical concept of the battle between light and darkness within oneself (Ephesians 6:12).

Shadows Lyrics


There are two of me
One does the right thing
One cannot see
Standing back to back
Who is the strong one
In the last act
Every path I take
Roads I go down
Choices I make
Take me right between
Patches of light and
Darkness in me

[Chorus:]
We have to keep
A watch on our shadows
Every move
They secretly make
We try to be
So close to heaven
But then our shadows
They run away
They pull us away

And the shadows prove
Falling behind
Tracing each move
When I do so wrong
There is no hiding
Shadows are long

[Chorus 2x]
