Sunlit Shadow

[Intro | dual acoustic guitars only, no percussion] [Instrumental] [Verse 1 | soft percussion enters, breathy sad female vocal, quiet] I once stood alone on a cold mountainside A sunlit shadow staring down a bleak divide And it's been years since who I was before There's no reason to go back there anymore [Chorus | urgent, rising intensity, fuller percussion, harmony vocals] I'll keep climbing though the way is long It's a long way down to a place I don't belong I'm not done, I'm not done, I'm not done yet There's a light in me I won't forget (oh) [Verse 2 | back to quiet, soft percussion, fragile vocal] The night is dark, the morning slow to come To a sunlit valley and the beat of my own drum And it's been years since I've been around Now I'm ready to put my feet back on the ground [Chorus | urgent, rising intensity, layered harmony vocals] And I'll keep climbing though the way is long It's a long way down to a place I don't belong I'm not done, I'm not done, I'm not done yet There's a fire in me I won't forget (oh) [Bridge | stripped back, guitars and sparse percussion, hushed vocal, hopeful turn] I'm here now, my feet firmly on the floor Out of the shadow that was locked behind a door I still think of those times every now and then And I remembered where to start again [Final Chorus | triumphant, soaring vocal, full harmonies, driving percussion, emotional peak] Now I'm running, and the world is mine The fire in me is now allowed to shine I am here, I am here, I am here to stay Sing it to the sky and light the way (ohhh) [Outro | guitars only, warm and resolved, fading out] [Instrumental] [Fade Out]
