Shimmersharing 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 of a child
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 try to capture mine
I think I love this woman's way
I think I love this woman's
the 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
(We're all born to Shine)

the days go by
can't kill the pain
and you wonder why
be strong
hold on
There's a lotta love to go around
stay wild
soul child
don't you let 'em bring you down
it's like a dream
wake me up when it's over
somewhere in between
enemy and lover
walk proud
sing out loud
it always hurts to wonder why
one more mile
my soul child
you'll never know until you try
like fallin rain
the days go by
can't kill the pain
and you wonder why
be strong
hold on
lotta love to go around
stay wild
soul child
don't you let 'em bring you down
walk proud
sing out loud
it always hurts to wonder why
stay wild
my soul child
you'll never know until you try
you'll never know until you try
you'll never know until you try
