As a child I’ve been told

That when I get old

I’ll come to realize that time is gold

That passion fades away and the best in us grows cold

Well I’ve never been the kind to take things for granted Always worked hard to get what I wanted

Did everything I could to expect the unexpected

Take it easy, take it slow Only time will show

What will bring tomorrow You never know

Shine before your light fades away

Shine before your light fades away

Shine before your light fades away (Let it shine)

Shine before your light fades away (away, away, away)

I tried to play with fire and I got burned

I should have known better but I gotta learn Everytime I failed I had a lesson in return

Take it easy, take it slow Only time will show

What will bring tomorrow You never know (no, no, no)

Shine before your light fades away (before your light fades away) Shine before your light fades away (let it shine, let it shine, let shine) Shine before your light fades away (Let it shine)

Shine before your light fades away (away, away, away, away) Shine before your light fades away
