Dawson's Creek movie - Shimmer lyrics

rate me

Song by Shawn Mullins<br /><br>

sharing with us what he knows<br>

shining eyes are big and blue<br>

and all around him water flows<br>

this world to him is new<br>

this world to him is new<br>

to touch a face<br>

to kiss a smile<br>

new eyes see no race<br>

the essence of a child<br>

the essence<br>

he's born to shimmer, he's born to shine<br>

he's born to radiate<br>

he's born to live, he's born to love<br>

but we'll teach him not to hate<br>

true love it is a rock<br>

smoothed over by a stream<br>

no ticking of a clock<br>

truly measures what that means<br>

truly measures what that means<br>

and this thing they call our time<br>

heard a brilliant woman say<br>

she said you know it's crazy<br>

how I want to try to capture mine<br>

I think I love this woman's way<br>

I think I love this woman's<br>

way she shimmers, the way she shines<br>

the way she radiates<br>

the way she lives, the way she loves<br>

the way she never hates<br>

sometimes I think of all of this that can surround me<br>

I know it all as being mine<br>

but she kisses me and wraps herself around me<br>

she gives me love, she gives me time<br>

and I feel fine<br>

I feel fine<br>

but time I cannot change<br>

so here's to looking back<br>

you know I drink a whole bottle of my pride<br>

and I toast to change<br>

to keep these demons off my back<br>

just get these demons off my back<br>

cause I want to shimmer, I want to shine<br>

I want to radiate<br>

I want to live, I want to love<br>

I want to try to learn not to hate<br>

try not to hate<br>

we're born to shimmer, we're born to shine<br>

we're born to radiate<br>

we're born to live, we're born to love<br>

we're born to never hate<br>

<br>
