He's been shining for ever, your son

[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

[Chorus]

Take my sorrow

Take my gold

And save all the mothers and the daughters

Who didn't have time

[Outro]

He's been shining, for ever, your son (I remember more than I'm supposed to)

He's been shining, for ever, your son (And I wrote about my golden sword too)

(Remember the time when your daughter was your son)

(And I wrote about my lover's eternal stare)

He's been shining, for ever, your son

He's been shining, for ever, your son

He's been shining, been shining

He's been shining, He's been shining

He's been shining, for ever, your son

He's been shining, for ever
