Turn your face towards the sun Let the shadows fall behind you Don't look back, just carry on And the shadows will never find you Turn your face towards the sun Let the shadows fall behind you Don't look back, just carry on And the shadows will never find you Lost in the rock and roll Got lost in a promise of a love I never know Shadows chase me far from home I remember when my heart was filled with gold And you know I've been burned I've been burned I've been burned You've seen me lose control It's not worth it's not worth it's not worth My soul Turn your face towards the sun Let the shadows fall behind you Don't look back, just carry on And the shadows will never find you Lost my faith and trust You and I know gold don't turn to rust I still swear that we can reign Like the kings and queens of better yesterdays Don't you know I've been burned I've been burned I've been burned You've seen me lose control It's not worth it's not worth it's not worth My soul Turn your face towards the sun Let the shadows fall behind you Don't look back, just carry on And the shadows will never find you Where you gonna go where you gonna go where you gonna run to When you get to the edge of the night Its time you face the sky Turn your face towards the sun Let the shadows fall behind you Don't look back, just carry on And the shadows will never find you Turn your face towards the sun Let the shadows fall behind you Don't look back, just carry on And the shadows will never find you Turn your face towards the sun Let the shadows fall behind you
