The Diamond

I do mistakes 
I'm insecure 
Inside of you 
I look for cure

I have bad thoughts 
I can't explain 
Sometimes my life 
It's full of pain

Sometimes my life
It's full of sorrow 
I'm so poor
Nothing to borrow

There's no today 
There's no tomorrow 
Nowhere to go
No one to follow

Sometimes my life 
It's not so bright 
It is sometimes 
I loose the light

But you're there 
With all your love 
You lift me up
So high above

You calm me down 
You make me rest
When you're there
I give my best

But when you're gone 
Gone with the wind
I feel as I 
Have gone and sinned

Sometimes I'm strong 
Sometimes I'm weak
Sometimes I sing 
Then I can't speak

Sometimes I'm free
Free like a bird
I'm first and second 
And then I'm third

Sometimes in heaven 
Sometimes in hell
Sometimes feel good 
Others not well

Sometimes I'm blessed 
Under your spell
Sometimes I'm armed
And then no shell

Sometimes atrocious 
Excruciating 
Sometimes old corpses 
I'm excavating

When will be peace ?
When will be light ?
When be no fear ?
When be no fight?

Why there's no stop?
Why there's no block?
Why all these demons 
Allowed to shock?

Why ones it's cold
And then it's warm
Why is it balsam 
And then it's harm

Why is there pain?
Why is there grief?
Why demolition?
Why such mischief?

Why is there up?
Why is there down?
Is it a circus?
Am I a clown?

And if it is
I play my role 
I'm a diamond 
I'm not coal!!
