Shadows That Learned to Shine

Once we walked through broken shadows,

Afraid to call them by their name,

Every echo held a warning,

Every mirror held our shame.

But the darkness started shifting,

When a distant glow drew near,

And the shadows learned their purpose,

When the light replaced their fear.

Shadows that learned to shine,

Taught by a travelling star.

We were fragments of the night,

Now we know what we are.

Through the veil of our forgetting,

Through the boundaries of time,

We became the quiet glow of truth,

Shadows that learned to shine.

Every scar became a lantern,

Every wound began to heal,

We became the voice of silence,

When the universe spoke real.

And the shapes we feared were fading,

Into colors undefined,

As the light rewrote the meaning,

Of the dark we left behind.

From the edge of our unknowing,

Came the fire that made us whole.

Shadows that learned to shine,

Taught by a travelling star.

We were fragments of the night,

Now we know what we are.

Through the veil of our forgetting,

Through the boundaries of time,

We became the quiet glow of truth,

Shadows that learned to shine.

Shadows that learned to shine...

Light is the shape of the soul.
