Shine and Shade
We live in shine and shade 
And trust the bittersweet 
But a fool who doesn’t see 
How precious life can be
Each triumph has a lonely side 
We’re always facing black and white 
We’re heading for the bittersweet 
Each curtain call a daring deed
A way to go, can be a way to fall 
We might lose it when we want it all 
We’re living in the shine and shade 
We’re swaying between love and hate
Ohhh, let a child be a child 
Before the seed is sown
A disharmonic harmony 
Completing our symphony 
More can be more or can be less 
No difference between life and death
Ohhh, let a child be a child 
Before the seed is sown
Don’t waste it onto barren land
We’re gonna shine on
In the light that has set us free 
Anyway we’re gonna shine on 
Shine on, shine on
In a land that we’ve never seen 
Anyway we’re gonna shine on 
Shine on, shine on
We live in shine and shade...
We’re hoping for the best to come 
And forget about what we have done 
Forget about what we achieved
The fortunes and the miseries
We live a lonely life together 
Close and yet so far forever 
Along the way we see it all
We know the rise 
We know the fall
Ohhh, let a child be a child 
Before the seed is sown
Don ́t waste it onto barren land
We ́re gonna shine on...
We live in shine and shade
And trust the bittersweet
But a fool who doesn’t see
How precious life can be and love’s divine
Don’t waste it onto barren land 
We’re gonna shine on...
We’re gonna shine on...
We live in shine and shade
