SHAWN MULLINS, Shimmer

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 how 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 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 and she wraps herself around me 
she gives me love, she gives me time 
yeahh.... and I feel fine 
hey... yeah, hey, hey, yeah, 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'd toast to change 
to keep these demons off my back 
to keep 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
