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 not to hate 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 Heard a brilliant woman say She said you know it's crazy How I want to try to 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 as being mine But she kisses me and wraps herself around me She gives me love, she gives me time And I feel fine 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 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
