Shine and Shade by Beyond The Black Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Refrain]
Oh, let a child be a child
Before the seed is sown
[Chorus 1]
A disharmonic harmony
Completing our symphony
More can be more or can be less
No difference between life and death
[Refrain]
Oh, let a child be a child
Before the seed is sown
Don't waste it onto barren land
[Chorus 2]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Refrain]
Oh, let a child be a child
Before the seed is sown
Don't waste it onto barren land
[Chorus 2]
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
[Bridge]
We live in shine and shade
And trust the bittersweet
But a fool who doesn't see
How precious life can be
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
[Instrumental]
[Refrain]
Don't waste it onto barren land
[Chorus 2]
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
[Chorus 2]
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
[Outro]
We live in 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
[Refrain]
Oh, let a child be a child
Before the seed is sown
[Chorus 1]
A disharmonic harmony
Completing our symphony
More can be more or can be less
No difference between life and death
[Refrain]
Oh, let a child be a child
Before the seed is sown
Don't waste it onto barren land
[Chorus 2]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Refrain]
Oh, let a child be a child

Don't waste it onto barren land
[Chorus 2]
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
[Bridge]
We live in shine and shade
And trust the bittersweet
But a fool who doesn't see
How precious life can be
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

Shine on, shine on
We live in shine and shade
[Chorus 2]
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
[Outro]
We live in shine and shade
