Analysis of Shining Angel
When I thought the world
Had began to fade away
A bantam glow of light arisen
So I wasn't led astray
While I gradually went towards it
And tried to find it's root
I pondered how a glow as this
Could radiate when minute
I persevered until I'd found
What beacon was seen as small
Was neither a candle light
Nor minuscule at all
What I had located was
The greatest thing to find
I found a loving friend
With a heart that is kind
Now, no matter where I'd go
There's no aphotic view
For I'll see your shining heart
Saying "I Love You."
