Shining Like the Sun Lyrics[Verse 1]
I met my angel in the dark
All her light, I could see from afar
Slipping through the jagged arms of night
Well, I tried to run, but my feet were stiff with fright
[Verse 2]
She said, "Oh, don't be afraid"
Her palms were hard and aged
As she set them on my head, I began to cry
'Cause in her eyes were a hundred billion lives
[Chorus]
All the saints, sinners, the kings, beggars
The prophets, all the unbelievers
The bush burners, the wheel churners
The one last push cosmic searchers
Shining like the sun
Shining like the sun
[Verse 3]
And then my angel, she was gone
All around me, the teeth of dogs
Biting through the bone ripping my soul
Hear the zealot scream, "If you die, do you know where you go?"
[Verse 4]
I picked myself up off the floor
Through my window, the light of dawn
Rising on the slender wings of a promise
If God is a man, then God is a man among us
[Chorus]
In the saints, sinners, the kings, beggars
The prophets, all the unbelievers
The bush burners, the wheel churners
The one last push cosmic searchers
The right, the wrong, the weak, the strong
The wretched and clean, the ones long gone
All the blind healers, the cash stealers
The one last mass my god St. Peter's
Shining like the sun
Shining like the sun
Shining like the sun
Shining like the sun
[Outro]
Shining like the sun
Shining like the sun
Shining like the sun
Shining like the sun
Shining like the sun
Shining like the sun
