against the wall in the back of the room by the door its his way out / coat stays on and his hands stay in his pockets as he moves to your every song / his eyes are fixed upon the stage as his mouth forms every word in perfect time / at the end of each song he looks around to see if anyone saw him sing every single line / chorus / it does my soul good to see you, he said / you've always been a friend to me / but sometimes when that light surrounds you / i lose myself in the shadow of your wings / the doors have closed he is one of twelve hinging upon your return / you speak the doubt within his eyes before it ever has a chance to burn / desperately he reaches out and your two hands embrace his one / "peace be with you" falls into his silence as he searches for what your hands have already won / chorus / if someone believed in me like i believed in you / would i see myself in a better light than i do / blessed are those who have not seen and yet who believe / but what about those who watch from the shadow
