Tears in its eyes

The fear in its eyes

Looking death in it's comforting face

But he was not ready to go

Not yet

Just a minute

Just a day

Just a lifetime

But it was faith

It's what happened

It's what I must do

There's no choice but to follow it

And still the fear in its eye

As the pupils dilate 

The muscles in its eyes forgetting how to registrate light

And so he goes

Slowly from my arms

Now he has to trust the shadow showing him where to walk

Not looking back

Still whispering that he is not ready

But he will follow the shadow

So is he really not ready?

In the shadow we trust

The shadow we will follow

In the shadow we will pray

The shadow is something we cannot understand

The shadow looks up and smiles and slows it pace

Because he's not ready yet

But in the shadow we trust
