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
     Am                        C
This world to him is new, this world to him is new

[Rep. Intro]

Em   D       G    Em   D      G
  To touch a face.  To kiss a smile
Em    D           C
  New eyes see no race
    Am                       C            D
The essence of a child.  The essence . . .

[Chorus]

C           G                D       Em     C         G           D
  He's born to shimmer, he's born to shine.  And 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

[Verse]

Em         D            G     Em         D         G
  And true love it is a rock.   Smoothed over by a stream
Em           D            C                 Am
  There's no ticking of a clock, that truly measures what that means
      C
Truly measures what that means
Em         D                 G    Em          D               G
  And this thing we call our time,  I heard a brilliant woman say
Em                       D                   C
  She said you know it's crazy how I want to try to capture mine
          Am                               C                        D
I think I love this woman's way, I think I love this woman's . . .

[Chorus]

C         G             D       Em      C            G   D
  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

[Bridge]

Am                          C
Sometimes I think of all of this surrounding me
G                      D
I know it all as being mine
Am                        C
But she kisses me and she wraps herself around me
G                               D
She gives me love, she gives me time  yeah, yeah
           C          G      D             Em
And I feel fine, yeah yeah.  Mmmmmmm-hmmmm Mmmmmmm
       C       G       D
I feel fine

[Verse]

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
              Am                                  C
To keep these demons off my back,  Just get these demons off my back. ‘Cause I

[Chorus]

C         G          D       Em     C          G   D
  Want to shimmer, I want to shine.  I want to radiate
C           G       D       Em
  I want to live, I want to love
C                  G            D
  I want to try to learn 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
  We're born to live, we're born to love,  we're born to never hate.
