I will rise up - over this
'till I come to a higher place
I will find strength - let go
of all the ties to my disgrace

I'm no more - and no less
than anyone else
looking for a new horizon
I can find in myself

CHORUS
(It's all right) the shadow's gone
(shine your light) with the risin' sun
(It's all right) take me as I am
(yeah yeah yeah) cuz here I stand

No hesitation - holdin' back
I'll take each step one by one
but I might fall - I could stray
If I loose my eye's today

I'm only one in a crowd
I'm just one voice on the line
looking for a new horizon
another place another time

CHORUS
(It's all right) the shadow's gone
(shine your light) with the risin' sun
(It's all right) take me as I am
(yeah yeah yeah) cuz here I stand

CODA: In our hands a light shines
we still wonder
change our world into sand
we will hunger
like a child -fears the night-
draws near its mother
like a son -fears no one-
will cast our shadow forever
'cause here I stand
