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!!
