Em                 D               G         Em       D                       G    
Sharing with us what he knows, shining eyes are big and blue 
Em         D                         C 
And all around him water flows 
         Am7                   Am/B   C 
This world to him is new; this world to him is new 
 
Em   D       G   Em  D      G 
To touch a face, to kiss a smile 
Em   D                C 
New eyes see no race 
       Am7                 Am/B  C           D 
The essence of a child, the essence 
 
        C           G                  D            Em   C         G            D      
He?s born to shimmer he?s born to shine, he?s born to radiate 
         C          G           D          Em                 C             G          D 
He?s born to live he?s born to love, but we?ll teach him how to hate 
 
Em         D               G      Em           D            G 
And true love it is a rock, smoothed over by a stream 
Em         D                     C 
And no ticking of a clock  
          Am7                               Am7/B  C                              
Truly measures what that means, truly measures what that means 
 
Em         D                         G     Em       D                             G 
And this thing we call our time. Heard a brilliant women say 
Em                   D                                           C 
She said, ?You know it?s crazy how I want to try and capture mine.?  
            Am7                            Am7/B      C                         D 
I think I love this women?s way, I think I love this women?s 
 
C                   G                  D              Em      C                  G         D   
The way she shimmers the way she shines the way she radiates 
C                   G            D          Em           C             G            D 
The way she lives, the way she loves, the way she never hates 
 
Am7                   Am7/B  C            
Some times I think of all this that can surround me 
G                                      D 
I know that all must be in mind 
Am7                       Am7/B    C                                   D      G                                        D 
But she kisses me and, she wraps herself around me she gives me love she gives me time 
                                             C       G           D            Em                C    G   D      
Yeah, yeah, now, I feel fine, hey, hey now, hey, hey, yeah I feel fine 
 
Em    D                    G      Em   D                       G       
But time I cannot change, so here?s to looking back 
Em                D                                       C 
You know I drink a whole bottle of my pride and I toast to change 
                        Am7                         Am7/B             C                             D     
To keep these demons off my back just get these demons off my back 
 
             C              G              D          Em    C            G       D 
Cause I, I want to shimmer I want to shine. I want to radiate 
C              G        D        Em      C        G                                     D                            
I want to live, I want to love, I want to try and learn how not to hate, try not to hate 
C                     G                     D          Em    C           G           D 
We?re born to shimmer we?re born to shine we?re born to radiate 
C                    G             D         Em   C               G          D
