Shadow Dreams Lyrics - Dj Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince

Shadow dreams 

Dreams of a shadow 

The analogy of a shadow dream 

Dreams are to shadows as your shadows are to your dreams 

In the deepest of the darkness it seams as though they're gone 

In the light they are visible 

Yet intangible and illusive 

Your shadow is the true validation of the fact that you exist 

Hence shadow dreams

And here we go 

Shadow dreams they seem so distant 

But the light is strong and no you can't resist it 

Keep on pushing, hold out your hand 

But light is your friend go on in Caroline 

Its always darkest before the light 

Nothing's worth having if its not worth a fight 

No love without labor, no labor no love 

Draw on the strength bestowed from above 

What can go wrong will go wrong 

But if you fall off a horse just get back on 

"I have a dream" the man stated 

A shadow dream that he chased to his grave 

Just because a dream is lurking in the shadows 

Doesn't mean that you should just forget it 

I mean you work and you push and you sweat 

And you toil and you strive and drive 'til you get it shadow dreams

[Chorus:] 

Shadow Dreams 

Dreams of a shadow (shadow dreams) 

Shadow Dreams 

Dreams of a shadow 

Every dark cloud is hiding a silver lining 

But don't forget to mobilise, keep on climbing 

Do all you can to keep your shadow alive 

Because your not far behind if your shadow dies 

Make sure you stop and you check tonight 

That your shadow is behind you when you walk through the light 

'Cause a man without a shadow ain't a man at all 

I mean I take it just for granted that my homies on the wall 

Kids see the shadows and they want to play 

But sometimes their stolen, taken away 

Adults are the thieves, the kids get robbed 

Throw away that shadow boy go and get a job 

Just because the dream is lurking in the shadows 

Doesn't mean that you should forget it 

I mean you work and you push and you sweat 

And you toil and you strive and drive till you get it shadow dreams 

[Chorus] 

Fourteen years old I used to want a Beamer 

I guess you could say I was what you'd call a shadow dreamer 

I told my father that I didn't think I'd ever get in 

I said I might as well just forget it 

My father said Son, don't be talking so dumb 

Hard work and education makes anything come 

And plus a shadow dream ain't as far as ya seem Son 

You used to be a shadow dream 

Life is a mystery but lets check history 

To see how many peoples shadow dreams came true 

And if the other peoples shadow dreams are equal 

Then why can't the next shadow dreamer be you 

That's the philosophy I live my life by 

When things get hard through the stress and strife I 

Keep on pushing with a full head of steam 

Like a train through the tunnel to my shadow dream 

[Chorus x 2] 

Uh ha 

Shadow Dreams 

Dreams of a shadow...
