Life can take your dreams and turn them upside down
Friends will talk about you when you´re not around

Reality can really cut you down to size
But don´t ever lose that light in your eyes
Don´t ever lose that light in your eyes

People make you promises they´ll never keep
Soon you´ll know why people say, "Talk is cheap!"
Life resembles one big compromise
But don´t ever lose that light in your eyes
Don´t ever lose that light in your eyes

Keep on shining
Keep on smiling
Don´t lose faith and don´t lose heart
When you´re crying
Just keep trying to remind yourself you´re a shining star
Yes you are

Somewhere down the line you´ll face the judgement day
When the angels look at you...what will you say?
They´ve got a way of knowing who qualifies
Just let ´em see that light in your eyes

Keep on shining
Keep on smiling
Don´t lose faith and don´t lose heart
When you´re crying
Just keep trying to remind yourself you´re a shining star
Yes you are

Don´t ever lose that light in your eyes
Don´t ever lose that light in your eyes
Don´t ever lose...
Don´t ever lose..
