Oh, I was trapped in fear
But now I'm breaking out
No, I will not stay here
'Cause I refuse to drown
So many years
So many fears
So many tears
I'm done now
I'm done now
I'm done now (Done now)
(Yeah)
I'm made for more of that, I'm sure
I'm made for more
Found a place with a table
A love that is faithful
A God who is able
And my heart is grateful 'cause
Oh, I was trapped in fear
But now I'm breaking out
No, I will not stay here
'Cause I refuse to drown
I'm free
I'm free
I'm free
I took hold of what I know
And I will never let it go
I'll dance in every circumstance
And Grandpa taught me how to dance
So keep me in the shadow
Everywhere that I go
Keep me in the shadow
Keep me in the shadow
Everywhere that I go
Keep me in the shadow
All in the shadow, always (In the shadow, Keep me in the shadow)
(In the shadow, Keep me in the shadow)
I know you're watching for me (In the shadow, Keep me in the shadow)
I will not fear what tomorrow brings, no (In the shadow, Keep me in the shadow)
'Cause I'm in the shadow (In the shadow, Keep me in the shadow)
I'm in your shadow
So keep me in the shadow (In the shadow, Keep me in the shadow)
(In the shadow, Keep me in the shadow)
Everywhere that I go (In the shadow, Keep me in the shadow)
Keep me in the shadow (In the shadow, Keep me in the shadow)
(In the shadow, Keep me in the shadow)
Everywhere that I go (In the shadow)
Keep me in the shadow
