Ooooo-Ooooooo, Ooooo-Ooooooo, Ooooo-Ooooooo
You radiant thing, you
Ooooo-Ooooooo, Ooooo-Ooooooo, Ooooo-Ooooooo

Darkness creep across the land
Ooooo Ooooo
You don't seem to understand
I sit alone in solitude
Just to hide away from you
Your brightness shines beyond compare
Woah-Ooooo
Radiating beauty everywhere
Ooooo-Ooooooo
I keep myself within the night
Knowing that I'll turn to dust

Underneath the light

You radiant thing, you
Ooooo-Ooooooo, Ooooo-Ooooooo, Ooooo-Ooooooo
You radiant thing, you
Ooooo-Ooooooo, Ooooo-Ooooooo, Ooooo-Ooooooo

If I had my way
I'd be a Horror-Movie Queen
Starring with the likes of Jason
In Freddy Kruger's dreams
You're like a prince
That's come from Cinderella's ball
So what are you doing here,
In a place you don't belong?

You radiant thing, you
Ooooo-Ooooooo, Ooooo-Ooooooo, Ooooo-Ooooooo
You radiant thing, you
Ooooo-Ooooooo, Ooooo-Ooooooo, Ooooo-Ooooooo

I never thought that
Anyone would ever get
Through all the shadows
That I built from past regret
But here you are,
You've come to drag it
All away from me
To see if you can pull me through
And change my destiny

You radiant thing, you
Ooooo-Ooooooo, Ooooo-Ooooooo, Ooooo-Ooooooo
You radiant thing, you
Ooooo-Ooooooo, Ooooo-Ooooooo, Ooooo-Ooooooo

I lived my life in darkness
That's the way I liked it
Wrapped in a cloak of Madness
Never realizing
Then you came and shown
Your brightest light into my face!
And now I feel
That I might melt
Within your sweet embrace

You radiant thing, you
Ooooo-Ooooooo, Ooooo-Ooooooo, Ooooo-Ooooooo
You radiant thing, you
Ooooo-Ooooooo, Ooooo-Ooooooo, Ooooo-Ooooooo

And now I find myself,
I am falling for your charms
As you reach out and grasp me
Tight within your arms
I can't believe I'm feeling
Lost and so confused
So take my hand if you must
And I will Gladly
(Gladly)
Gladly
(Gladly)
In your arms I'll gladly
Gladly turn to dust
Ooooo-Ooooooo, Ooooo-Ooooooo, Ooooo-Ooooooo
You radiant thing, you
Ooooo-Ooooooo, Ooooo-Ooooooo, Ooooo-Ooooooo
You radiant thing, you
Ooooo-Ooooooo, Ooooo-Ooooooo, Ooooo-Ooooooo
You radiant thing, you
Ooooo-Ooooooo, Ooooo-Ooooooo, Ooooo-Ooooooo
YOU RADIANT THING, YOU!
