Shawn Mullins - 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
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
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
I know it all is being mine
then she kisses me and she wraps herself around me
she gives me love she gives me time yeah
and I feel fine
and I feel fine

but time I cannot change
so here's to looking back
you know I'd drink a whole bottle of my pride
and I'd 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...
