Shimmer Lyrics

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 

 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
