(Lyrics, Music: Peterson)
Is it any wonder that I shine when I'm around you?
Bend the light that only you can see
Seen so many things slip away from me
Stumbled home and cut my chin along the way
Lately I can't get your voice out of my head
Silly things you used to say to me
Like why does life go by so fast and days just creep along
Can I open up my expectations long enough
to write this song, to look inside
to open my hand
Is it any wonder that I shine when I'm around you?
Bend the light that only you can see
Come to me in the night
Walk me into the silent water
Cast away all your fright
Sanctify the place so deep inside your darkness and be free
and be free
If a mountain follows a shooting star into the sea
If a stranger leads you down another road
Let it be my voice that warms you in the night
Silly prayers on my wings to you
So dance around the sun until I take my weakest breath
In all that I embrace watch over me, surround my face with love, love,
love
Is it any wonder that I shine when I'm around you?
Bend the light that only you can see
Come to me in the night
Walk me into the silent water
Cast away all your fright
Sanctify the place so deep inside your darkness and be free
and be free
Carry me down to the water
Carry me into the sound
Carry me down to the water
And I'll sleep with you under the ground
under the ground
under the ground
So dance around the sun until I take my weakest breath
In all that I embrace watch over me, surround my face with love, love,
love
Is it any wonder that I shine when I'm around you?
Bend the light that only you can see
Come to me in the night
Walk me into the silent water
Cast away all your fright
Sanctify the place so deep inside your darkness and be free
and be free
You got to come to me in the night
Walk me into the silent water
Cast away all your fright
