BORN TO SHINE

|
"Shimmer little one, shimmer little one
|
shine on, shine on, you were born to shine on.
|
Shimmer little one, shimmer little one
|
shine on, shine on, you were born to shine on.
|
I am your refelction and you are mine.
|
All of us, reflections of the light divine,
|
so shimmer little one, shimmer little one
|
you were born to shine."
|
|
I got on the bus today
|
I was feeling down
|
Didn't get off, I just knew I had to take a ride.
|
I looked out the window, yeah, I just looked around
|
and tried to make sense of all that I was feeling inside
|
then a strange man sitting right next to me
|
said, "I can feel what your eyes can see.
|
Don't you worry brother,
|
everybody's doin' fine."
|
His stop came up and he rang the bell.
|
There was something in his voice I knew so well.
|
Something in the way his eyes looked into mine
|
when he whispered,
|
"It's alright, it's alright, it's alright."
|
|
"Shimmer little one, shimmer little one
|
shine on, shine on, you were born to shine on.
|
Shimmer little one, shimmer little one
|
shine on, shine on, you were born to shine on.
|
I am your refelction and you are mine.
|
All of us reflections of the light divine,
|
so shimmer little one, shimmer little one
|
you were born to shine."
|
|
I waved out the window as we drove away.
|
He never looked back as he vanished into all of the rest.
|
I looked at the people getting through the day
|
and something must have changed 'cause somehow everybody seemed blessed.
|
Sometimes I can tell myself that I'm all alone.
|
I can tell myself that I'm on my own.
|
Tell myself to question all the love I receive.
|
Sometimes I can tell myself that it's all too much.
|
I can tell myself not to ever trust,
|
then someone comes along
|
that I know I just gotta believe
|
when he whispers,
|
"It's alright,it's alright, it's alright...
|
|
"Shimmer little one, shimmer little one
|
shine on, shine on, you were born to shine on.
|
Shimmer little one, shimmer little one
|
shine on, shine on, you were born to shine on.
|
I am your refelction and you are mine.
|
All of us reflections of the light divine,
|
so shimmer little one, shimmer little one.
|
You were born to shine."
