If Love is Life and Life is Love;

I was born with a shadow holdin' my hand,

Never saw the sun shine on this land.

The shadow overhead seems to block the sun light.

Nothin' I did ever turned out right

I always found that trouble was attached to my name,

And there was never anyone else to blame.

I started to write so that I could tell all,

It started with a purple crayon on my Grandma's wall...

"If Love is life,

And life is love; then I am in"

I won't bend down to bad luck,

Because it can't win

Even if the muck is so deep that;

It's up to my chin.

If I had to do it all over again,

That shadow would have to be,

My best friend

"If Love is life,

And life is love; then I am in"

I won't bend down to bad luck,

Because it can't win

Even if the muck is so deep that;

It's up to my chin.

I would live this life all over again.

I would hold hands with the shadow

So that I could love.

I was born with a shadow holdin' my hand...
