Black Sheep Will Shine
(Intro)
I'll remember you, You'll remember me
life is like grains of sand
falling down from your hand
rolling on toe to tide
like an endless wave on an endless ride
the last thing you want is sympathy
gotta live your life, just have 'em let you be
you tried so hard, you tried so much
you can't please another if you're out of touch
(chorus)
black sheep will shine black sheep you're fine
black sheep will shine black sheep you're mine
remember what your father said
it really stuck in your head
you'll never be nobody's fool
gonna live your life by your rule
you got the money, you got the fame
but you're walking that tight rope, barely sane
time takes a back seat to no man
gotta stick with your life, shift in your plan
(chorus)
black sheep will shine black sheep you're fine
black sheep will shine black sheep you're mine
(repeat chorus)
life is like grains of sand
falling down from your hand
slowing down before you slide
now pick up your speed, shift into glide
you got the money you got the fame
you got your name, so you better take aim
you tried too hard, you tried too much
you can't please another if you're out to lunch
(chorus)
black sheep will shine black sheep you're fine
black sheep will shine black sheep you're mine
(repeat chorus x2)
(outro)
you'll remember me
