Oh, you've been so long
In the shadows of the big man
How long can you take it?
How far can you go?
Don't you know how strong
Is the shadows of the big man?
While he smiles in the sunlight
You can die in the cold
Oh, the shadows of the big man
The shadows of the big man
Spend your life
In the shadows of the big man
Sell your wife and children
If it made him smile
How long can you take it?
Or do you really need it?
Oh, standing in the shadows
The shadows of the big man
And you'd love all the world to see
How you break your chains
And set yourself free
And all you got to do
Is walk away
Walk away
Yeah
The shadows of the big man
Walk it out
Walk it out, walk it out
On the shadows of the big man
The shadows of the big man
The shadows of the big man
