Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

You've always been a thorn in their 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

[Verse 3]

When we made our connection

A full on chemical reaction

But by dark divine intervention

Yeah, you are a shining light

[Verse 4]

A constellation once seen

Over Royal David's city

An epiphany, you burn so pretty

Yeah, you are a shining light

[Verse 5]

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

[Verse 6]

And all the blood I would sacrifice

For you, I'm a shining light

Sovereign bride of the infinite

Yeah, you are a shining light

Yeah, you light up my life

[Verse 7]

We made our connection

A full on chemical reaction

And brought dark divine intervention

Yeah, you are a shining light

[Verse 8]

A constellation once seen

Over Royal David's city

An epiphany, you burn so pretty

Yeah, you are a shining light

[Verse 9]

These are the days you often say

There's nothing that we cannot do

Beneath the canopy of stars

I'd shed blood for you

[Verse 10]

The north star in the firmament

You shine the most bright

I've seen you dressed in an electric veil

Shrouded in celestial light

[Verse 11]

We made our connection

A full on chemical reaction

And by dark divine intervention

Yeah, you are a shining light

[Verse 12]

A constellation once seen

Over Royal David's city

An epiphany, you burn so pretty

Yeah, you are a shining light

You are a shining light

You are a shining light
