I look back on those days 
At the permanent haze 
And the dark that surrounded me 
Then good fortune arrived 
I saw life in your eyes 
You talked about changing views 
Freedom to choose, darkness to light 

There lies the kingdom 
Of beautiful stories 
Pure as the heaven’s rain 
Shine on the heartache 
The bittersweet glory 
Shine over everyone 

Down the road I would fall 
The wrong side of the wall 
Sound of madness 
Moved in for the kill 
Then good fortune arrived 
I saw life in your eyes 
You talked about taking me 
To a place I should know 
Just you and me 

There’s a hole in the sun 
Where I wanted to run 
There were clouds in the open sea 
Then good fortune arrived 
I saw life in your eyes 
You talked about showing me 
A place I should know 
Just you and me 

Shine over everyone
