I'm the hug no-one ever gave you
The sweetest kiss for open wounds
I'm the sign that shows you direction
The guiding star that leads you home

Shine, child shine for me
You only shine for me

I lead you, I feed you, I captured your features
From now on you shine for me
I warn you, I own you, I'll find out your hideout
From now on you shine for me

I'm the hound that guards all your secrets
Calm and brave before the storm
I'm the rhyme that soothes your nightmares
The healing hand wiping off your fears

Shine, child shine for me
You only shine for me

I lead you, I feed you, I captured your features
From now on you shine for me
I warn you, I own you, I'll find out your hideout
From now on you shine for me

I'm the slap from your loving fathers hand
A mindless order you can't understand
I'm the pleasure that causes a lethal addiction
Craving turned into a destructive conviction

I'm the friend who betrayed your trust
The sentence that proved the world is unjust
I'm the rumour that spreads when your lacking defence
The final revelation that stole your innocence
