Boy in the corner
He is too afraid to smile
He’d rather imagine places
Where he can be someone else for awhile
He paints a picture
Of the way he’d like to be
And at night he dreams he is an eagle
So strong and free
Beautiful shadow
Run away, run away
Such a familiar refrain
We don’t have to be the same
Your strength is in your silence
And your beauty’s not skin deep
You are not alone, beautiful shadow
You are not alone
She always wanted to be
More like the girls at her school
She envied the effortless way
It took for them to be cool
She sang her song in a garden of dreams
Where no one could hear her soul
And learned to be invisible
As she went about the world
CHORUS
You are not alone, beautiful shadow
You are not alone
