| 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 |
