Lyrics

LIVING IN THE SHADOWS ( NO MORE )

THERE WAS ALWAYS ROOM
BUT NOT MANY WOULD PERSUE
AND IN THESE DARKENED TIMES
NO ONE REALLY KNEW
SO SOME OF THE WEAK WOULD LOOK BACK
OTHERS WOULD FOLLOW THE TREND
AFRAID OF THE MORE WE GREW
THE MORE WE'D HAVE TO DEFEND
THEY ARE THE ONES IN CONTROL
CAPTIOUS IN WHAT WE SAY
BUT NO ONE CAN HOLD US DOWN
NO ONE CAN TAKE IT AWAY

(CHORUS)
WE'RE MORE DEFINED TODAY
THERE'S NO MORE LIVING IN THE SHADOWS
THERE'S MORE THAN YESTERDAYS TO IDOLIZE
LIVING IN THE SHADOWS

IT'S FINE TO REMEMBER A TIME
AND TAKE PRIDE IN THE PAST
BUT SOME POISON TOMOROWS
WITH SUCH AN OVERCAST
SO I LOOK TO THE SKY
AND THANK GOD THERE'S A LIGHT
IT WAS ALWAYS SO VAGUE ON HOW TO KEEP LOVE ALIVE
BUT IF WE COUNT ON THAT HOW WOULD WE EVER SURVIVE
SO I LOOK IN YOUR EYES AND THANK GOD THERE IS YOU
NO ONE CAN PUT A VALUE
ON THE POWER OF TWO

(CHORUS)
WE'RE MORE DEFINED TODAY
THERE'S NO MORE LIVING IN THE SHADOWS
THERE'S MORE THAN YESTERDAYS TO IDOLIZE
LIVING IN THE SHADOWS (2X)

BREAK / SOLO

THERE WAS ALWAYS ROOM
BUT NOT MANY WOULD PERSUE
AND IN THESE DARKENED TIMES
NO ONE REALLY KNEW
BUT NO ONE CAN HOLD US DOWN
NO ONE CAN TAKE IT AWAY

(CHORUS)
WE'RE MORE DEFINED TODAY
THERE'S NO MORE LIVING IN THE SHADOWS
THERE'S MORE THAN YESTERDAYS TO IDOLIZE
LIVING IN THE SHADOWS (2X)
LIVING IN THE SHADOWS (REPEAT OUT)
