ANNIE LENNOX LYRICS - Shining Light

"Shining Light"



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'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



We made a connection, a full chemical reaction

Brought 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 into the darkest night

Yeah, you are shining light



And all 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

Brought 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 dressed in an electric veil

Shrouded in celestial light



We made a connection, a full on chemical reaction

Brought 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 shining light

You are a shining light, ooh yeah
