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 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
