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 of a child

Chorus:
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 how to hate

And true love it is a rock
smoothed over by a stream
and no ticking of a clock
truly measure what that means
truly measures what that means

and this thing they call our time
I 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 this that
can surround me
I know it all as being mine
but she kisses me and she wraps herself
around me
she gives me love, she gives me time
and I feel fine
hey hey hey-eh-ey, 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,
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. not to hate
try not to hate

we?re born to shimmer,
we?re born to shine,
we?re born to radiate, yeah-eh-yeah
we?re born to live, we?re born to love
we?re born to never hate
