[Verse 1] I used to fear the shadows When I started chasing them It was only when I came into the light that I began to realize That they were only false evidence appearing real [Verse 2] When I was a young boy I used to fear the shadows in the corner and the monsters underneath my bed But then my mind would flip the switch and say the only monsters are the ones inside my head I used to hide from shadows Robbing me of joy In the valley of the shadows It all appears so real Then I flipped the script and laughed What was the big deal? When I turned away from darkness And walked into the light I gave my heart to Jesus And began to see things right [Verse 3] When I got grown, I ventured out to the bright lights very far away Now I was chasing shadows no longer in my head Chasing fame and fortune every kind of way I was now a man of proving I could make the bread Chasing filth and shadows I had called my own Hey, chased the shadows to the point of no return Feasting on the hustle lessons I had never learned now The morning light is breaking All the shadows in their boots are shaking In the valley of the shadows It all appears so real Then I flipped the script and laughed What was the big deal? When I turned away from darkness And walked into the light I gave my heart to Jesus And began to see things right
