Flowers”. I’d like to invite you to collaborate and make a video or track with
“West in the Shadows” by adding your own footage, photos, vocals or other
melody. You can use the lyrics below if you want.

I have come to believe that there are infinite
passageways out of the shadows, infinite
vehicles to transport us into the light. -Martha Beck
Lyrics for West in the Shadows
The song is about a girl in a war torn country living in the shadows of a gray
city. Even as she and her family struggle to survive and bombs burst all
around her, hope and rest shines through her heart as she sneaks away to
the shore and feels a peaceful breeze blowing on her face.
Time to write down the record of souls
And whisper to men who made faces in coal
To meet the children playing in heaven
One, three, eight, eleven
She’s west in the shadows
And everything around her glows
She’s west in the shadows
And everything around her glows
Walking in the streets where voices pray
Sisters and brothers make carvings in clay

3. The constitution is alive and glitters
A revolution cleaned up all the litter
She’s west in the shadows
And everything around her glows
She’s west in the shadows
And everything around her glows
And to see the smoke of a revolution
Papers and slogans and all that pollution
We’re gonna smile in the wind and try again
On our knees and in the rain
Listening to a shotgun war, Cigarettes and morals lay on the shore
Thoughts of families hypnotized by the boss
A revolution and the lines that were crossed
Watching the radio, imagination humming
Fooled again and changes are coming
She’s west in the shadows
And everything around her glows
She’s west in the shadows
And everything around her glows

how did I go my whole life and miss that? So its about all things new and
unexpected that keep showing up in life.
