WALKING IN THE SHADOW OF GIANTS

WHEN I STARTED OUT ON THIS JOURNEY
HAD SOME BIG IDEAS OF WHAT I'D BECOME
BUT NOW I'VE MOVED A LITTLE FURTHER
I'VE LEARNED THAT I'LL NEVER BE DONE
I QUICKLY FOUND OUT IT'S NO JOYRIDE
I'VE HAD TO WORK HARD TO GET SOMEWHERE
I'M IN DEBT TO THOSE GONE BEFORE
AND I THANK THEM FOR PAYING THEIR SHARE

(CHORUS)

CAUSE I'M
STANDING IN THE FOOTSTEPS
OF PEOPLE I ADMIRE
WALKING IN THE SHADOW OF GIANTS

THEY MADE ME WANT TO BE JUST LIKE THEM
NOW EVEN THOUGH I HAVE COME SO FAR
THERE'S SO MUCH I FEEL I MUST ACHIEVE
IF I'M TO SEE MYSELF AS ON PAR
SO I WROTE THIS SONG AS A TRIBUTE
TO ALL OF THOSE WHO OPENED THE DOOR
THEY BROUGHT THE FIRE THAT NOW BURNS IN ME
NOW IT'S MY TURN TO SETTLE THE SCORE

(CHORUS)

WHEN I WAS YOUNGER LEARNING TO PLAY
OFTEN DREAMED IT WAS ME ON THAT STAGE
WELL NOW IT'S SOMETHING THAT I'VE ACHIEVED
MY NAME CAN BE ADDED TO THE PAGE
I'LL KEEP PRAYING SOMEONE'S LISTENING
HOPEFUL I KEEP HITTING THE RIGHT NOTE
HOPING TO GAIN SOME OF THAT SUCCESS
AND ADD TO THE STORY THEY ALL WROTE

(CHORUS)

(SOLO)

LONG AS I CAN I STILL PLAY THIS MUSIC
AND KEEP TAKING THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD
KEEP SEEING THE JOY IN YOUR FACES
THEN I KNOW THAT IT’S BEEN WORTH THE LOAD                                       

(CHORUS x 2)
