[Verse]
Fate would have it that she goes
She takes a breath to talk
Rain beats on the windows
Can't move her feet to walk

[Chorus]
A shining light
It shines so bright

[Verse]
She takes her golden cross and says
"Time to pass away"
She looks heavenwards to pray
To reach a better world today

[Chorus]
A shining light
It shines so bright

[Verse]
Sick and tired of it
Cancer blows her mind
You've got to answer for that
'Cause you've got it, blind
[Chorus]
A shining light
It shines so bright

[Bridge]
Cancer blows her mind
Cancer blows her mind
Cancer blows her mind
'Cause you've got it, blind

[Outro]
A shining light
It shines so bright
It shines so bright
The shining light
Ooh, it shines so bright
It shines, it shines so bright
The shining, the shining light
