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 not to hate
True love it is a rock
Smoothed over by a storm
No ticking of a clock
Truly measures what that means, truly measures what that means
And this thing they call our time
Heard a brilliant woman say
She said you know it's crazy
How I want to capture mine
I think I love this woman's way,
I think I love this woman's way
Way she shimmers, the way she shines
They 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 wraps herself around me
She gives me love, she gives me time
Yeah... and I find, I'm 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, to keep 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 not to hate, try not to hate
We're born to shimmer
We're born to shine
We're born to love, we're born to love
We're born to never hate
