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
