Shadows are everywhere

Giralta Nguluve 2002 (Springs)



I got carried by the wind,
But your shadow was there,
To keep me from falling,
Falling down the cliff,
Because your shadow was there,
It was there to hold me back from falling,

I never knew that you live with me,
Until the day you came into my dream,
That is when i knew that i live,
Beyond your principle,
The principle of your love,
Oh! dear shadow, please don't ever leave,

'Cause my heart lies where ever you are.
