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

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 will teach him how to hate

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

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 surrounds me

And I know it all as being mine

But she kisses me and she wraps herself around me

And she gives me love, she gives me time, yeah, yeah

And I feel fine, yeah, yeah

Yeah, 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 and 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

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 will teach him how to hate
