10,000 Maniacs
Shining Light
[Intro]
Ooh

[Verse 1]
Something was pulling me
Without knowing what was leading me on
Your shining light
Your shining light
In my darkest hour the only way to bring the dawn
Was your shining light
Your shining light

[Chorus]
But you're unaware your shining light is even on
Like with a little glance when you take me by surprise
And I take a chance and I see it all through your eyes
Free me from my history
And show me where to draw the line
By lighting up the mystery
And you don't even know that it shines

[Verse 2]
I'm not worried now
About flying too close to the sun
Your shining light
When December skies are cold
You know I will always run
To your shining light
Your shining light
[Chorus]
But you're unaware your shining light is even on
Like with a little glance when you take me by surprise
And I take a chance and I see it all through your eyes
Free me from my history
And show me where to draw the line
By lighting up the mystery
And you don't even know that it shines

[Bridge]
I won't abuse it
So please just let it glow behind your smile
Let me use it
Let me feel the warmth like a little child

[Chorus]
Who understands your glance
Though it takes me by surprise
And I take a chance
And I see it all through your eyes
It's your shining light (free me from my history)
And it pulls me out of my mind
It's your shining light (by lighting up the mystery)
You don't even know that it shines
It's your shining light (it's your shining, it's your shining light)
Oh, it's your shining light (it's your shining, it's your shining light)
