Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We're miles apart
But safe from dreams
You're running from
Beyond the dawn
We'll always need
One of their own
To lead
[Verse 2]
(Shine your light over me)
Shine your light over me
(All of my fears are gone)
All of my fears are gone, baby, gone-gone
(And it don't bother me)
It don't bother me, don't bother me, now
(If it's not meant to be)
[Verse 3]
Too far to run
Fall on your knees
To find a love
Your light for me
My only sun
You'll always shine
For me
[Verse 4]
(Shine your light over me)
Shine your light over me
(All of my fears are gone)
All of my fears are gone, baby, gone-gone
(And it don't bother me)
Don't bother me, don't bother me, now
If it's not meant to be
[Verse 5]
(Shine your light over me)
Shine your light over me
(All of my fears are gone)
All of my fears are gone, baby, gone-gone
(And it don't bother me)
Don't bother me, don't bother me, now
If it's not meant to be
[Verse 6]
I had to lose, to understand
Strung out from all this
Pour out a thousand tears
I never knew, a kinder man
