Deep in your heart there was once a diamond shining bright

Every dark place you passed by turned into light

But somebody broke into your heart and blew out your lightsAnd your sparkling little diamond turned pale overnight

What the hell has become of that pretty girl so sweet and nice

Where have remaind your insatiable thirst after life

Girl what ever they have done to you, where ever you are

No ever so big force on earth could kill a burning heart

Shine on, shine on

Don′t let the bastards drag you down

Shine on, like a torch burns in a storm

Shine on and on, and keep the fire burning

Shine on, shine on, shine on

Your train ran off the rails, hey girl you didn't lay the tracks

If you wanna reach for the sky you have to go through hell and back

Don′t deliver girl, let me take you by the hand

At the end of the rainbow the way of cross still ends

Shine on, shine on

Don't let the bastards drag you down

Shine on, like a torch burns in a storm

Shine on and on, and keep the fire burning

Shine on, shine on, shine on

Shine on, shine on, shine on

Shine on, shine on, shine on

Shine on, shine on, shine on

Shine on, shine on, shine on

Don't let the bastards drag you down

Shine on, shine on

Don′t let the bastards drag you down

Shine on, like a torch burns in a storm

Shine on and on, and keep the fire burning

Shine on, shine on, shine on

Shine on, shine on, shine on

Don′t let the bastards drag you down
