So when the last light fades
Shine on, shine on young love
You hold my hand and I'll hold yours
Then life won't feel so wrong

I know you're hurting like I am
I know your heart's [held] in your hands
We share our lives so bleak
With broken memories

Shine on, shine on, shine on young love
You lit the fires in my heart
and I won't give that up
Shine on, shine on, shine on young love
You know we're all sinking together
but this lifts us up (lifts us up)

Let me hear you sing it
don't let the last light fade

Shine on, shine on young love
We'll burn these fires bright
let's blaze our paths into the night

Because it's been too long
And we have been too down
So now it's sink or swim
And we're too strong to drown

Shine on, shine on, shine on young love
You lit the fires in my heart
and I won't give that up
Shine on, shine on, shine on young love
You know we're all sinking together
but this lifts us up (lifts us up)

I've felt as hopeless as you
Felt the will to give in
Let your heart open up
Let the healing begin

Fight your way to the light
And fight the will to give in

it's sink or swim
And we're too strong to drown
