Roman candles that burn in the night
Yeah, you are a shining light
You lit a torch in the infinite (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 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 force, you are a constant source
Yeah, you are a shining light
Incandescent into the darkest night
Yeah, you are shining light
My mortal blood (And all the 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 draped (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.
„Shining light“ je pesma koju je komponovao Tim Wheeler, gitarista i pevač grupe Ash. Objavljena je prvo kao singl ove grupe, da bi se nekoliko meseci kasnije našla na njihovom odličnom albumu „Free all angels“, koji je objavljen 2001. godine.

Annie Lennox je snimila obradu ovu pesme osam godina kasnije. To je uradila na savršen način. Nalazi se na njenom albumu „The Annie Lennox collection“, kao jedna od dve nove pesme koje su našle mesto na ovom izdanju.
