Shimmer...

"Sharing with us what he knows
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
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
No ticking of a clock
Truly measures what that means
Truly measures what that means

And this thing they 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

The 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 this that can surround me
I know it all as being mine
But she kisses me and and wraps herself around me
She gives me love, she gives me time
Yeah, and I, I feel fine
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 want to shimmer,
I want to shine
I want to radiate
I want to live,
I want to love
I want to try to learn
how not to hate
try not to hate

We're born to shimmer
We're born to shine
We're born to radiate
We're born to live,
We're born to love
We're born to never hate"
