I will not fade
I won't let my light go out
I will not masquerade
I know who I am, and what my purpose is 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
