I will not fade.
I won’t let my light go out.
I will not masquerade.
I know who I am, and what my purpose is all about.


For all these years
I’ve traveled on.
And You have cheered,
Shine on, shine on.


What I am
And who I am
Is never going to change
The hits will come
But I will not be swayed
I’ve always been
What I want to be.
The world can clearly see
That I will not fade.


There is no life
That I would rather live
I will continue on.
Until you take me home.


I don’t run.
When stormy skies appear I pray.
Oh. The Power.
I posses when the skies turn black.
I still burn.
The lights on.
