He’s been shining for ever, your son Christine and the Queens

[Intro]
He's been shining, for, for ever, your son (Oh)
He's been shining, he's been shining (Oh)
He's been shining, for ever, ever, your son (Ooh)

[Verse 1]
They search for the prince in the valley on his big horse and
Search for a hero on the long course, but do they see me? (He's been shining)
Me? (For ever)
Can I see me?
Oh, she's looking for a daughter in the field, alone
I wish I could give you the stars you asked me for (He's been shining)
I wish I could open the sky doors
Open the sky doors
Take my sword
And save all the mothers and daughters (He's been shining)
Wounded by our kind (For ever, your son)

[Chorus]
Take my sorrow
Take my gold
And save all the mothers and the daughters
Who didn't have time

[Verse 2]
Oh, I wish I could be a better man (He's been shining, for ever, your son)
By just becoming my angel (My angel, my angel)
Just becoming my angel (My angel, my angel)
From above, higher self-speaking to me through the melody
I wish I could open the sky doors
I wish I could just take my sword
And welcome my lover, oh
I wish I could forgive him for not seeing the truth
Seeing the truth, is it your blood?
Why do you think I ache on my skin?
I'm afraid of disappearing into your skin
