Shadows Of The Big Man Lyrics - Rea Chris

(4.49) 

Oh you've been so long 

In the shadows of the big man 

How long can you take it 

How far can you go 

Don't you know how strong 

Is the shadows of the big man 

While he smiles in the sunlight 

You can die in the cold 

Spend your life, in the shadows of the big man 

Sell your wife and children, if it made him smile 

How long can you take it, or do you really need it! 

Oh standing in the shadows, the shadows of the big man 

And you'd love all the world to see 

How you break your chains and set yourself free 

And all you got to do is walk away 

Walk away from the shadows of the big man
