If You Only See the Shadows — Liva

You're sitting by the window, watching raindrops on the pane
Counting all the shadows, like the light was all in vain
Every little setback feels heavier than before
And the sun you keep forgetting still is knocking on your door

'Cause if you only see the shadows, you'll never find your light
If you only count the teardrops, you'll never feel what's right
Life is just a song, but you've gotta play along
If you only hear the noise, dear, you'll never sing your song

You're searching for the raindrops in the middle of the dance
You always find the storm clouds where others see a chance
But your heart it keeps on beating, it knows the way back home
It's waiting for the moment, you stop walking on your own

'Cause if you only see the shadows, you'll never find your light
If you only count the teardrops, you'll never feel what's right
Life is just a song, but you've gotta play along
If you only hear the noise, dear, you'll never sing your song

Oh Liva, oh Liva
Turn your face up to a star
Even the darkest evening
Holds a light somewhere afar

'Cause if you only see the shadows, you'll never find your light
If you only count the teardrops, you'll never feel what's right
Life is just a song, and you've gotta play along
Let the noise go quiet now, and find where you belong
