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!"   Life resembles one big compromise   But don't ever lose 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      Somewhere 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      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   Don't ever lose
