(feat. Trevor Young)





I'm not a shadow,

I'm not the ground beneath your feet

I'm not a shadow,

When you look down, you wont see me

I'll stand up and I'll stand tall, I don't follow anyone

I'm not a shadow, cause I'm not a shadow



Here's to you don't settle, and never separate

And never be quiet cause the words you say

You never go back on and never turn around,

Never judge another cause as stupid it sounds

Cause when you see others knowin' they're all brothers,

Knowin' they're all sisters, seein' the big picture,

If they're not with you, then they're against

And were here now when they are way back when

So why try to please everyone?

When it seems that all the people really want

Is to show love, and out and get love back

Is to show some faith and get respect

Just look at the world then, you look at the problems

And look at the hatred, and we still cant solve it

So look inside and you'll find step one,

Forget a diamond I'm shinin' like the sun



Cause I'm not a shadow,

I'm not the ground beneath your feet

I'm not a shadow,

When you look down, you wont see me

I'll stand up and I'll stand tall, I don't follow anyone

I'm not a shadow, cause I'm not a shadow



Here's to you on your own, the innocent criminal

You never fit the mold, you never go sit down

You never go get approval no matter how you prove

That love is the motive in everything you do,

And revolution is you and you're against the machine,

You know who you are and you know what I mean

And when this record stops you would never slow down,

When the video is over you want your turn now so,

You make the truth and move straight ahead,

While the followers behind you get left for dead

For the imminent brainwash follow the dumb rules,

Created by individuals who unlike you

Don't care for the world or, care for the people

They love it their way, and they love unequal

And they love when they feel above someone,

I don't follow the leader when they're all wrong



Cause I'm not a shadow,

I'm not the ground beneath your feet

I'm not a shadow,

When you look down, you wont see me

I'll stand up and I'll stand tall, I don't follow anyone

I'm not a shadow, cause I'm not a shadow
