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
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
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
