Too real to be a Shadow

I hide here every day, here away from the light

I hide here every day, and all alone at night

They call us Shadow Children

Sometimes I feel like a shadow

The only crime I've committed was being born the third

Now I have to pay, caged up like a bird

They call us Shadow Children

But I'm too real to be a Shadow

My name isn't my own. My life isn't real

I don't want them to see the fear, the panic I feel

They call us Shadow Children

I want to be a Shadow

Why do they want to kills us? Why are they so cruel?

Why are we being tortured for something we didn't do?

They call us Shadow Children

But we're too real to be a Shadow

Is there anyone out there who cares for the innocent?

God, if you're there! Why this curse you sent?

They call us Shadow Children

No one wants to be a shadow

We all have to be a shadow

What if it's all just a shadow?

Just a nightmare laying us low

Just a dream, it'll let us go

A little mistake and you'll wake up…
