You were born to shine on
Disappointment grabs hold of your tender heart
Don't allow it to hang on too long.
You weren't born to be sad or born to be blue
You were born to ever shine on.
Loneliness drops you in a deep, empty hole
Don't forget there's a place you belong.
You weren't born in darkness or born to be lost
You were born to ever shine on.
Mistakes and false steps, shatter your confidence
Don't believe that you'll always be wrong.
You weren't born defeated or born to stay down
You were born to ever shine on.
You're a symphony of light, a grand design
Don't transgress to a life without song.
You were born to a Promise, born to love
You were born to ever shine on.
