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 I cannot change time
|
So here's to looking bakc
|
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
|
