Born To Shine - Joshua Kadison

Born to shine

«Shimmer little one, shimmer little one

Shine on, shine on, you were born to shine on

Shimmer little one, shimmer little one

Shine on, shine on, you were born to shine on

I am your refelction and you are mine

All of us, reflections of the light divine

So shimmer little one, shimmer little one

You were born to shine.

«I got on the bus today

I was feeling down

Didn’t get off, I just knew I had to take a ride

I looked out the window, yeah, I just looked around

And tried to make sense of all that I was feeling inside

Then a strange man sitting right next to me

Said, «I can feel what your eyes can see

Don’t you worry brother

Everybody’s doin' fine.

«His stop came up and he rang the bell

There was something in his voice I knew so well

Something in the way his eyes looked into mine

When he whispered

«It's alright, it’s alright, it’s alright.»

«Shimmer little one, shimmer little one

Shine on, shine on, you were born to shine on

Shimmer little one, shimmer little one

Shine on, shine on, you were born to shine on

I am your refelction and you are mine

All of us reflections of the light divine

So shimmer little one, shimmer little one

You were born to shine.

«I waved out the window as we drove away

He never looked back as he vanished into all of the rest

I looked at the people getting through the day

And something must have changed 'cause somehow everybody seemed blessed

Sometimes I can tell myself that I’m all alone

I can tell myself that I’m on my own

Tell myself to question all the love I receive

Sometimes I can tell myself that it’s all too much

I can tell myself not to ever trust

Then someone comes along

That I know I just gotta believe

When he whispers

«It's alright, it’s alright, it’s alright…

«Shimmer little one, shimmer little one

Shine on, shine on, you were born to shine on

Shimmer little one, shimmer little one

Shine on, shine on, you were born to shine on

I am your refelction and you are mine

All of us reflections of the light divine

So shimmer little one, shimmer little one

You were born to shine.
