Davinah Edwards - Out of the Shadows

When I was growing up
I never had much luck
They tried to pass the buck
They said that change was gonna come
And we were ready for it
When many had a dream
When all the times were mean
So many years in between
Then change has finally begun
And now I can't ignore it
Just look how far we have come
And it feels like we've only begun
Just look what time can achieve
If you really truly believe

It's been a long time coming
Out of the shadows
Freedom's running
Out of the shadows
Life is stunning out of the shadows
We live to share the promise
Free at last

And then those days have passed
The sky's not overcast
The bad times didn't last
We've come a long way, shout it out
We face a new tomorrow
We worked and slaved for years
We tasted bitter tears
We lived in doubts and fears
Look at us, now we're standing proud
We left behind the sorrow
If we could step back in time
We wouldn't brave the wrong side of line
Forty years since the promise was made
Now we're here to lead the parade

It's been a long time coming
Out of the shadows
Freedom's running
Out of the shadows
Life is stunning out of the shadows
We live to share the promise
Free at last

They all said it couldn't be done
But they were so wrong now
We're out of the shadows into the sun
We long to be strong now
Just look how far we have come
And it feels like we've only begun
Just look what time can achieve
If you really truly believe

It's been a long time coming
Out of the shadows
Freedom's running
Out of the shadows
Life is stunning out of the shadows
We live to share the promise
Free at last
