Shadows light,
shadows bright,
shadows chase my soul
tonight.
Well, for the moment I’m running
just as fast as I can,
because I’ve been
there before & don’t want to live through that again.
But I am so tired,
and I am running out of breath,
am I really that sure that
the shadows bring death?
Perhaps if I stand very, very still,
they will just pass me by,
maybe, instead,
I should try to search for a place to hide.
No, No, you’ve never given up so
easily before,
and now you have
found something worth living for,
if you cannot run anymore,
then turn around & fight,
face the shadows,
and take back the night.
Yes I can, yes
I will,
death be damned,
it’s my time to kill,
I am the Lorax, and I speak for
me,
I will do whatever I must
to live & live free.
