Roman candles that burn in the night Yeah you are a shining light You lit a torch in the empty night Yeah you are a shining light Yeah you light up my life You have always been a thorn in the side But to me you're a shining light You arrive and the night is alive Yeah you are a shining light Yeah you light up my life We made a connection A full on chemical reaction But by dark divine intervention Yeah you are a shining light A constellation once seen Over Royal David's city An epiphany, you burn so pretty Yeah you are a shining light You are a force you are a constant source Yeah you are a shining light Incandescent in the darkest night Yeah you are a shining light My mortal blood I would sacrifice For you are my shining light Sovereign bride of the infinite Yeah you are a shining light Yeah you light up my life We made a connection A full on chemical reaction But by dark divine intervention Yeah you are a shining light A constellation once seen Over Royal David's city An epiphany, you burn so pretty Yeah you are a shining light These are the days you often say There's nothing that we cannot do Beneath a canopy of stars I'd shed blood for you The north star in the firmament You shine the most bright I've seen you draped in an electric veil Shrouded in celestial light We made a connection A full on chemical reaction But by dark divine intervention Yeah you are a shining light A constellation once seen Over Royal David's city An epiphany, you burn so pretty Yeah you are a shining light Yeah you light up my life Yeah you are a shining light Yeah you light up my life
