We live in shine and shade And trust the bittersweet But a fool who doesn't see How precious life can be Each triumph has a lonely side We're always facing black and white We're heading for the bittersweet Each curtain call a daring deed A way to go, can be a way to fall We might lose it when we want it all We're living in the shine and shade We're swaying between love and hate Ohhh, let a child be a child Before the seed is sown A disharmonic harmony Completing our symphony More can be more or can be less No difference between life and death Ohhh, let a child be a child Before the seed is sown Don't waste it onto barren land We're gonna shine on In the light that has set us free Anyway we're gonna shine on Shine on, shine on In a land that we've never seen Anyway we're gonna shine on Shine on, shine on We live in shine and shade And trust the bittersweet But a fool who doesn't see How precious life can be We're hoping for the best to come And forget about what we have done Forget about what we achieved The fortunes and the miseries We live a lonely life together Close and yet so far forever Along the way we see it all We know the rise We know the fall Ohhh, let a child be a child Before the seed is sown Don't waste it onto barren land We're gonna shine on In the light that has set us free Anyway we're gonna shine on Shine on, shine on In a land that we've never seen Anyway we're gonna shine on Shine on, shine on We live in shine and shade And trust the bittersweet But a fool who doesn't see How precious life can be and love's divine Don't waste it onto barren land We're gonna shine on In the light that has set us free Anyway we're gonna shine on Shine on, shine on In a land that we've never seen Anyway we're gonna shine on Shine on, shine on We're gonna shine on In the light that has set us free Anyway we're gonna shine on Shine on, shine on In a land that we've never seen Anyway we're gonna shine on Shine on, shine on We live in shine and shade
