Lyrics:
Cast A Giant Shadow
Cast A Giant Shadow
An open door for everyone who called
A helping hand for anyone at all
The shirt off your back
When it was the last one you had
And everybody knows that the world is cruel
So hard on the helpless, so easy for so few
But you saw good when I saw evil
You had faith when I had none
You brought light into the darkness
That was brighter than the sun, and
You cast a giant shadow
Over everything I do
And every time I look up
You're the one I look up to
You're a hero in my eyes
And knowing you has changed my life
Cause you cast a giant shadow,
And I miss you
You always said, "don't worry about me,
I find the less I have, the less I really need"
And by the time you left
You'd given everything away
And no one knows your name, or the good you've done
You never will be famous to anyone
But you're my hope and inspiration
You're the reason I go on
You'll always live inside me
Even though you're gone, cause
Chorus
You saw good when I saw evil
You had faith when I had none
You brought light into the darkness
That was brighter than the sun, and
You cast a giant shadow
Over everything I do
And every time I look up
You're the one I look up to
