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 judgment 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 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
Don't ever lose that light in your eyes Don't ever lose that light in your eyes Don't ever lose that light in your eyes
