Shimmer

Sharing with us what he knows

His shining eyes are big and blue

And all around him water flows

This world to him is new

This world to him is new

To touch a face

To kiss a smile

And new eyes see no race

The essence of a child

The essence

He's born to shimmer

He's born to shine

He's born to radiate

He's born to live

He's born to love

But we'll teach him how to hate

And true love, it is a rock

Smoothed over by a stream

And no tickin' of a clock

Truly measures what that means

Truly measures what that means

And this thing we call our time

I heard a brilliant woman say

She said "You know it's crazy how

I want to try and capture mine"

I think I love this woman's way

I think I love this woman's

Way she shimmers

The way she shines

The way she radiates

The way she lives

The way she loves

The way she never hates

Sometimes I think of all

Of this that can surround me

I know it all is being mine

But she kisses me and

She wraps herself around me

She gives me love

She gives me time

And yea-yeah-eh

I feel fine a-he-and

Heh-heh-e-yeah

I feel fine

But time I cannot change

So here's to looking back

You know I drink a whole bottle

Of my pride

And I toast to change

To keep these demons off my back

Just get these demons off my back

'Cause I

I want to shimmer

I want to shine

I want to radiate

I want to live

I want to love

I want to try and learn

Not, not to hate

Trying not to hate

We're born to shimmer

We're born to shine

We're born to radiate

Born to live

We're born to love

We're born to never hate
