DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince - Shadow Dreams Lyrics

Shadow dreams

Dreams of a shadow

The analogy of a shadow dream

Dreams are to shadows as your shadows are to your dreams

In the deepest of the darkness it seams as though they're gone

In the light they are visible

Yet intangible and illusive

Your shadow is the true validation of the fact that you exist

Hence shadow dreams

And here we go

Shadow dreams they seem so distant

But the light is strong and no you can't resist it

Keep on pushing, hold out your hand

But light is your friend go on In ?carrolan?

Its always darkest before the light

Nothing's worth having if its not worth a fight

No love without labor, no labor no love

Draw on the strength bestowed from above

What can go wrong will go wrong

But if you fall of a horse just get back on

"I have a dream" the man stated

A shadow dream that he chased to his grave

Just because a dream is lurking in the shadows doesn't mean that you should just forget it

I mean you work and you push and you sweat and you toil and you strive and drive till you get it shadow dreams

Shadow Dreams

Dreams of a shadow (shadow dreams)

Shadow Dreams

Dreams of a shadow

Every dark cloud is hiding a silver lining

But don’t forget to mobilise, keep on climbing

Do all you can to keep your shadow alive

Because your not far behind if your shadow dies

Make sure you stop and you check tonight

That your shadow is behind you when you walk through the light

Cause a man without a shadow ain't a man at all

I mean I take it just for granted that my homies on the wall

Kids see the shadows and they wanna play

But sometimes their stolen, taken away

Adults are the thieves, the kids get robbed

Throw away that shadow boy go and get a job

Just because the dream is lurking in the shadows doesn’t mean that you should forget it

I mean you work and you push and you sweat and you toil and you strive and drive till you get it shadow dreams



Shadow Dreams

Dreams of a shadow (shadow dreams)

Shadow Dreams

Dreams of a shadow

Fourteen years old I used to want a beamer

I guess you could say I was what you'd call a shadow dreamer

I told my father that I didn't think I'd ever get in

I said I might as well just forget it

My father said son, don’t be talking so dumb

Hard work and education makes anything come

And plus a shadow dream ain't as far as ya seem son

You used to be a shadow dream

Life is a mystery but lets check history

To see how many peoples shadow dreams came true

And if the other peoples shadow dreams are equal then why cant the next shadow dreamer be you

That’s the philosophy I live my life by

When things get hard through the stress and strife I

Keep on pushing with a full head of steam

Like a train through the tunnel to my shadow dream

Shadow Dreams

Dreams of a shadow

Shadow Dreams

Dreams of a shadow

Shadow Dreams

Dreams of a shadow (Dreams)

Shadow Dreams

Dreams of a shadow (Dreams)

Uh ha

Shadow Dreams

Dreams of a shadow
