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

And life resembles one big compromise

But 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.

Some where 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

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...
