Shimmer - Shawn Mullins

Sharing with us what he knows

His 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

And 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 how to hate

And true love it is a rock

Smoothed over by a stream

And no ticking of a clock

Truly measures what that means

Truly measures what that means

And this thing we call our time

I heard a brilliant woman say

She said you know it’s crazy

How I want to try and 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 the deaths that can surround me

I know it all as being mine

Then she kisses me and

She wraps herself around me

She gives me love

She gives me time

Yeah yeah

I feel fine

Hey yeah, hey yeah (I feel fine)

But time I cannot change

So here’s to looking back

You know, I’d drink a whole bottle of my pride and I’d toast to change

To keep these demons off my back

Just get these demons off my back

Cause I.

I want to shimmer

And want to shine

I want to radiate

I want to live

I want to love

I want to try and learn now 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…
