The Test Lyrics

Shining on our skin, shining Shining on our skin, shining Shining on our skin, shining Shining on our skin, shining Little star I tried to put you on a pedestal You didn't ask for all the flashing lights I didn't think of how it could disturb Or how it hurt I wish I knew The pain I've caused My butterfly Was always being watched I know they tried to put us to the test We're not the same, but I'm treading on your footsteps Sometimes I think you wish I'd go away But my shadow stays and it's okay to be yourself I know they tried to put us to the test You're not to blame, but you need to be free now You made me whole when I was broken too And I hope and pray I can do the same for you Shining on our skin, shining on us Shining on our skin, shining on us Shining on our skin, it's shining on our skin It's shining on us Surrounding all around you A hand tenderly reaching to me You are my reason to be Or what I want, or look like What I wear, all the clothes on my back And what I attract I trace the line of what you have sewn Keep my own design Make it a landscape Make it alive I know they tried to put you to the test I'm not so different, time is knocking on my doorstep You show me your razor-sharp laser vision Real brave will make you feel kind of different I know they tried to put us to the test I'm not the same when I'm hanging on your coattail Sometimes I wish I could multiply you But I know you are all around me You are all around me I know you feel just like a butterfly In case I have to tread lightly on my footsteps I see that there is so much light in your heart It's shining on our skin It's shining on us Surrounding all around you
