lyrics

Your mother and father
they called you the shining sun
To bed at dusk
And up at dawn

Your brothers and sisters
Are all the shining stars
They shine so bright
Shine from afar

And if you shine beyond the heavens
I will be there to steal your light
And if you go beyond your brethren
I will be there to steal you away

Your mother and cousin
They called you the evening too
They locked you up
Inside your room

Your brothers and sisters
Remain like the shining stars
You stole their light
But got these scars

And if you shine beyond the heavens
I will be there to steal your light
And if you go beyond your brethren
I will be there to steal you away
