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
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 will teach him how to hate
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
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
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
