I will not fade    I won't let my light go out    I will not masquerade    I know who I am, and what i'm all about          (chorus)    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 gonna change    The hits will come    But I will not be swayed    I've always been    What I am    The world can clearly see    I won't fade away       There is no life    That I would rather live    I will continue on    Until you take me home       (chorus)       I don't run    When stormy skies appear, I pray    Oh the power    I possess when skies turn black    I still burn    The light's on       What I am    And who I am    Is never gonna change    The hits will come    But I will not be swayed    I've always been    What I am    The world can clearly see    I won't fade away       What I am    And who I am    Is never gonna change    The hits will come    But I will not be swayed    I've always been    What I am    The world can clearly see    I won't fade away       What I am...
