never give up on love
you got to believe it's true
never give up the faith
to carry on and push on through
never resign yourself

and settle for second best
hold your head up high
and let your heart do the rest

know who you are
reach for a star
ah-ah-ah

shine on shine on
through the dark night shine on
shine on shine on
you'll be alright if you shine on
you got to believe in love
and never give up your dreams

look into the future
don't regret all that has been
you got to love yourself
before you love someone new
the world's your oyster
ripe for the picking
the stage's lit up for you

trust who you are
'cause you're the star
ah-ah-ah

shine on shine on
through the dark night shine on
shine on shine on
you'll be alright if you shine on
come on come on

shine on shine on
shine so brightly shine on
come on come on
shine on shine on
love all mighty shine on
come on come on
