I am a lonely shadow

I am a lonely shadow,
I wonder if anyone can hear me,
I heart the children whisper,
I see them playing in the field,
I want to be with them once more,
I am a lonely shadow

I pretend that all is fine,
I feel the shdows taking me,
I touch a childs small head,
I worry for their future,
I cry for their unfortunate souls,
I am a lonely shadow,

I understand that I cannot go back,
I say that all will be fine,
I dream that I can stay on this earth,
I hope the world will survive,
I am a lonely shadow;
