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
