about
Words and Music by Brent and Karen Godfrey.
The purpose of life is to love.
We wrote this song in memory of our beloved dog Moon Shadow (3/8/02 - 11/13/14). She taught us unconditional love and how to see the world in a new light. We greatly miss our camping, hiking, and kayaking buddy.

lyrics
I walk with my Shadow beside me
Born from the light of the moon
Teaching me to look closely at things
I otherwise would be blind to.
I walk with my Shadow behind me
Changing landscapes day after day
Finding my purpose in the call of the birds
In the light of the rising sun’s rays
The purpose of life is to love
The purpose of life is to find meaning
I see me in you I see you in me
We’re a part of Everything
All you need to do is love unconditionally
Love unconditionally Love unconditionally
I walk with my Shadow in front of me
Feeling fully alive
On cold dark mornings wind catches your breath
The moment’s beauty filling my eyes
The present moment is fleeting
My Shadow has left my side
Alive for a moment, All slips away
To enter the Great Divine
Born from the light of the moon
Teaching me to look closely at things
I otherwise would be blind to.
I walk with my Shadow behind me
Changing landscapes day after day
Finding my purpose in the call of the birds
In the light of the rising sun’s rays
The purpose of life is to love
The purpose of life is to find meaning
I see me in you I see you in me
We’re a part of Everything
All you need to do is love unconditionally
Love unconditionally Love unconditionally
I walk with my Shadow in front of me
Feeling fully alive
On cold dark mornings wind catches your breath
The moment’s beauty filling my eyes
The present moment is fleeting
My Shadow has left my side
Alive for a moment, All slips away
To enter the Great Divine
