Amy Grant

There are two of me
One does the right thing
One cannot see
Standing back to back
Who is the strong one
In the last act?
Every path I take
Roads I go down
Choices I make
Take me right between
Patches of light and
Darkness in me

Oh, we have to keep
A watch on our shadows--
Every move
They secretly make
We try to be
So close to heaven
But then our shadows
They run away
They pull away

Oh....

And the shadows prove
Falling behind
Tracing each move, oh
When I do some wrong
There is no hiding;
Shadows are long

So we have to keep
A watch on our shadows--
Every move (Every move)
They secret make, yeah, yeah
We try to be
So close to heaven, (Mmmm....)
But then our shadows
Pull us away
They pull away....

We have to keep
A watch on our shadows--
Every move (Ooooh....)
They secretly make, yeah
We try to be
So close to heaven
But then our shadows
They pull us away

Oh, we have to keep
A watch on our shadows--
Every move (oooh....) they secretly make, yeah
We try to be
So close to heaven
But then our shadows
Pull us away
Pull us away

Pull us away

(Ha, hu ha, oh no, cha cha
Oh no, gotta keep our watch
Keepin' it under my shadow
Oh no, gotta keep our watch
On my shadow
Oh no, gotta keep our watch
Keepin' it under my shadow
Oh no, gotta keep our watch
Keepin' it under my shadow
Oh no, gotta keep our watch
Keepin' it under my shadow
Oh no, gotta keep our watch
On my shadow
Oh no, gotta keep our watch
Keepin' it under my shadow
Oh no, gotta keep our watch
Keepin' it under my shadow
Oh no, gotta keep our watch
Keepin' it under my shadow
Oh no, gotta keep our watch
On my shadow
Oh no, gotta keep our watch
Keepin' it under my shadow
Oh no, gotta keep our watch
Keepin' it under my shadow
Oh no, gotta keep our watch
Keepin' it under my shadow
Oh no, gotta keep our watch
On my shadow
Oh no, gotta keep our watch
Keepin' it under my shadow
Oh no, gotta keep our watch
Keepin' it under my shadow.)

By the time Amy Grant was nineteen, she was Contemporary Christian music’s most celebrated singer. Grant grew up in the Church of Christ where she sang for God two nights a week. As a teen, she decided to pursue a career in music, writing her first song while attending devotional meetings at her high school.

Grant recorded a demo while working as an intern at a recording studio and the owner was so impressed he signed her to his own label and released her first album Amy Grant in 1977. It spawned three top 10 songs on Billboard’s Christian Songs chart.

The following year, Grant began touring while balancing college studies. Her second album My Father’s Eyes was released in April 1979. At its record release party, she met future first husband gospel singer Gary Chapman. He’d written its title track, and it would become her first of many Christian Songs Chart-toppers. Her third album Never Alone came out in 1981 and features the #3 Christian Songs hit “Look What Has Happened To Me”.
