I had left my dreams in ashes
in the early years
Like a broken down club fighter
just holding back the tears
There were those who held
my hand up high
And said, look at all you've done
Said I was just doing it with mirrors
Now I'm not fooling anyone
Then you, then the sun
Now I'm up off the floor
I don't know what we'll be
I only know that we were somethin'
Look for me, baby,
don't stop drummin'
There in the shadow of your hand
I will be standing again
And you seem so self -sufficient,
so unlike a child
More like the jack -o' -diamonds,
not needing this is why
And if humans get that special glow
from reaching out a hand
You will be shinin' till forever
You helped save one drowned woman
Now watch her stand
Now I'm up off the floor
I don't know what we'll be
I only know that we were something
Look for me,
baby, don't stop drumming
There in the shadow of your hand
I will be standing again
And God will bless the you and me,
and He will bless our little family.
And God will bless the reasons why
I won't give up so easily
Not anymore
Now I'm up off the floor
I don't know what we'll be
I only know that we were something
Look for me baby,
don't stop drumming
There in the shadow of your hand
I will be standing
Now I'm up off the floor,
I don't know what we'll be
On and on, we were something
Look for me, baby,
don't stop drumming
There in the shadow of your hand
I will be standing again
