Behold the life of a troubled boy
Crying ‘cause he didn’t make the team
Feels like the end of his whole life,
Won’t be able to live his dream
He worked so hard and fell so short
He feels left with a last resort

Still he goes to the games, and stands on the sidelines,
A loser in his mind
He’s determined to fight, ready to rise
At any chance that he may find
For a day will come at an unknown time,
To let his inner star shine

Shine on
Take a step towards the light
Shine on
You’ll make it through the night
Shine on
Don’t give up the fight
Shine on
The future’s looking bright

A week goes by, still he’s there
On the outside looking in
Numerous times, out of frustration
He thinks about giving in
Still he remains, a piece in a game,
A game he vows to win

Shine on
Take a step towards the light
Shine on
You’ll make it through the night
Shine on;
Don’t give up the fight
Shine on;
The future’s looking bright

All good things shall come in the end,
If it’s not good, it’s not the end
All good things shall come in the end,
If it’s not good, it’s not the end


Behold, the same timid boy,
Is the captain of the team
Greatest time of his whole life
He’s living out his dream.
He’s worked so hard and fought so long,
Now he sings a triumphant song

Shine on
Take a step towards the light
Shine on
You’ll make it through the night
Shine on;
Don’t give up the fight
Shine on;
The future’s looking bright

Shine on
You’re standing in the light
Shine on
You’ve made it through the night
Shine on;
You’ve have won the fight
Shine on;
The future’s looking bright

The future’s looking bright
