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 in 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
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
