Midnight comes, a thousand suns
Light fire to the sky
You're just a shadow in this land
Don't pretend, well, aren't you?

Each day repeats, the same routine
You don't bother asking why
You're just a shadow of a man
Don't pretend, well, aren't you?

See that shadow man over there
Man in the mirror staring at you
See that shadow man if you can
'Cos it's barely a man staring at you

Thinking back to your father's laugh
He'd say, boy I could care less
You're just a shadow of a man
You couldn't stand, well, aren't you?

The hopes you keep inside your dreams
Are anybody's guess
You're just a shadow of a man
You understand, well, aren't you?

See that shadow man over there
Man in the mirror staring at you
See that shadow man if you can
'Cos it's barely a man staring at you

Whoa, oh, oh...

And whose gonna save you when
When you can't?
Shadow man

Whoa, oh, oh...

Whose gonna save you now
Tell me how
Shadow man

Whoa, oh, oh...

See that shadow man over there
Man in the mirror staring at you
See that shadow man if you can
'Cos it's barely a man staring at you
