[VERSE 1:]
If you are the sun
then I wanna be the moon
I wanna reflect the light that shines from you
And if this is war
Then I'm gonna draw my sword
This time I know what I am fighting for
[PRE-CHORUS:]
God I wanna let you know
I want everything you are
I'm waiting for the morning light to show
a fire in the dark
[CHORUS:]
Shine your light, I wanna feel you now
God I need a miracle
Take my heart, make it glow
Shine your light from the inside out
I wanna be more like you
If you are the sun, I wanna be the moon
I wanna be the moon
[VERSE 2:]
If love is a choice
Then I need you to hear my voice
I'm the one knocking on your door making all this noise
Whatever it takes
I give it all away
I wanna show my love in a thousand ways
[PRE-CHORUS:]
God I wanna let you know
I love everything you are
I'm waiting for the morning light to show
a fire in the dark
[CHORUS:]
Shine your light, I wanna feel you now
God I need a miracle
Take my heart, make it glow
Shine your light from the inside out
I wanna be more like you
If you are the sun, I wanna be the moon
[BRIDGE:]
I can't live a single day without you
I don't even want to try
And I won't take another step without your light
I need your light
[CHORUS:]
Shine your light, I wanna feel you now
God I need a miracle
Take my heart, make it glow
Shine your light from the inside out
I wanna be more like you
If you are the sun, I wanna be the moon
[OUTRO:]
If you are the sun
then I wanna be the moon
I wanna reflect the light that shines from
