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...
