Lyric Out of the shadows

(Dave Hill-Steve Watts)(Cloth Cap Songs)

Wipe the tears from your eyes
It s time for leaving but not goodbye
You don t know what it s like
They went and took the best years of my life
And they broke all our hearts
But not our spirit while we were apart
Now it s their turn to pay
But they can t give back what they took away

Oh I ve waited such a long time
That I can t believe it s true
That somebody finally realized
It wasn t me or you

I wanna stand on the streets tonight
Out of the shadows and into the light
I wanna stand on the streets tonight
Out of the shadows and into the light

Who do you think you are?
If you ve got problems I ll show you my scars
So don t turn away, you better listen
I ve something to say
There s a wrong and a right
And there s a law if you re black or you re white
So we all make mistakes
Like being born in the wrong time and place

Crossing weeks and months off on a wall
Counting hours in a day
Writing letters well into the night
There was no other way

I wanna stand on the streets tonight
Out of the shadows and into the light
I wanna stand on the streets tonight
Out of the shadows and into the light

I ll take it all, take what s mine
Cause all i ever got was time
Take it all, take what s mine
And maybe it will work out fine

Wipe the tears from your eyes
It s time for leaving but not goodbye
You don t know what it s like
They went and took the best years of my life
And they broke all our hearts
But not our spirit while we were apart
Now it s their turn to pay
But they can t give back what they took away

I wanna stand on the streets tonight
Out of the shadows and into the light
I wanna stand on the streets tonight
Out of the shadows and into the light
