Some folks have a chip on their shoulder
Some folks have a heavy heart
Some folks have a dark cloud around them
But I’ve got a friend in me

CHORUS
Me ‘n’ my shadow
He’s with me forever
His promises clearly say
Thank God I’m not like Peter Pan
Whose shadow could be lost
Cuz my shadow is the spirit of God

Some folks have a heart full of sorrow
Some folks hearts are filled with fear
Some folks hide…they think the sky is fallin’
But I’ve got a friend in me

CHORUS

Things aren’t perfect in my life
I’m sad when things go wrong
But I have hope because the one
Inside of me is stronger than the bad guy

CHORUS
