I had left my dreams in ashes
Like a broken down club fighter
just holding back the tears
There were those who held
And said, look at all you've done
Said I was just doing it with mirrors
Now I'm not fooling anyone
I don't know what we'll be
I only know that we were somethin'
There in the shadow of your hand
And you seem so self -sufficient,
More like the jack -o' -diamonds,
And if humans get that special glow
You will be shinin' till forever
You helped save one drowned woman
I don't know what we'll be
I only know that we were something
baby, don't stop drumming
There in the shadow of your hand
And God will bless the you and me,
and He will bless our little family.
And God will bless the reasons why
I won't give up so easily
I don't know what we'll be
I only know that we were something
There in the shadow of your hand
Now I'm up off the floor,
I don't know what we'll be
On and on, we were something
There in the shadow of your hand
