I'm a diamond A bright shiny diamond And I've come from so far away Ten thousand miles A might of a child To be cut, set and sold To anyone who'll pay Here I am upon your hand See how bright I shine Beauty fades but I remain The picture of your life The proof you did it right I'm a diamond What good is a diamond In a world brought to its knees And flooded with hatred? Oh, is nothing sacred But a stone, sharp, and cold And still you covet me Here I am upon your hand See how bright I shine Beauty fades so I remain The picture of your life The proof you did it right Bought and sold, all for a piece of coal Bought and sold, all for a piece of coal All for a piece of coal Here I am upon your hand See how bright I shine Beauty fades so I remain The picture of your life Here I am upon your hand See how bright I shine (See how bright I shine) Oh, beauty fades so I remain The picture of your life The picture of your life The proof you did it right
