Out of the Shadows

The cave he hides in, dark and deep,

Where shadows linger, secrets sleep.

He’s known this place for far too long,

Afraid of life, afraid of wrong.

But something stirs within his chest,

A hope, a dream he can’t suppress.

He’ll leave the dark, the quiet gloom,

If only you would light the room.

For you, he’d step beyond the stone,

To face a world he’s never known.

Your touch, your smile, a guiding flame,

To draw him from his self-made shame.

The caved man waits, but not in vain,

He'll brave the sun, embrace the rain.

He’ll rise from where his fears reside,

If only you stand by his side.
