Original:
From fairest creatures we desire increase,
That thereby beauty’s rose might never die,
But as the riper should by time decease,
His tender heir might bear his memory;
But thou, contracted to thine own bright eyes,
Feed’st thy light’s flame with self-substantial fuel,
Making a famine where abundance lies,
Thyself thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel.
Thou that art now the world’s fresh ornament
And only herald to the gaudy spring,
Within thine own bud buriest thy content,
And, tender churl, mak’st waste in niggarding.
Pity the world, or else this glutton be,
To eat the world’s due, by the grave and thee.
Adaptation:
Hey there, pretty thing, we all want you to shine,
Like a rose that keeps bloomin' time after time.
When the old flowers fade as the seasons roll by,
We hope your beauty's legacy will never die.
So let your heart run wild, let your spirit be free,
Share your love with the world, that’s the way it should be.
Don’t hold back your light, let it shine like the sun,
In this dance of life, you were made to have fun.
You’re the star of the show, with a smile so bright,
But you’re keepin’ all that magic hidden out of sight.
Open up your heart, let the good times roll in,
Life’s too short to waste on where you’ve been.
So let your heart run wild, let your spirit be free,
Share your love with the world, that’s the way it should be.
Don’t hold back your light, let it shine like the sun,
In this dance of life, you were made to have fun.
You’ve got dreams to chase and stories to tell,
So don’t let fear keep you trapped in a shell.
Take a chance on love, let it flow like a stream,
You’ll find joy in the moments that feel like a dream.
So let your heart run wild, let your spirit be free,
Share your love with the world, that’s the way it should be.
Don’t hold back your light, let it shine like the sun,
In this dance of life, you were made to have fun.
