Shimmer Lyrics

Performed by Shawn Mullins)

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 Dawson Creek - Shimmer - http://motolyrics.com/dawson-creek/shimmer-lyrics.html

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
