The Test

Lyrics by：Madonna/Stuart Price/Lourdes Leon

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 us

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 showed me the 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

A cage I have to tread so light it forced me

I say that there is so much light in your heart

It's shining on our skin

It's shining on us

Surrounding all around you
