My father's father broke this ground Daddy mined till we laid him down Only God knows what they found beneath Now here I stand in my own boots Axe to grind and a point to prove Tangled up in my own roots, it seems I got treasure up in heaven I got dirt all over me I have only scratched the surface Of the man I'm meant to be I got something down inside of me That only you can see Help me dig a little deeper now And set that diamond free Why do I do the things I do All the things that I don't want to Act like I don't fear you at all Hard head and a heart of stone Older now but I haven't grown Any riches that I have to show are small But I got treasure up in heaven I got dirt all over me I have only scratched the surface Of the man I'm meant to be I got something down inside of me That only you can see Help me dig a little deeper now And set that diamond free Set it free Set it free Set it free Set it free Come down with your old flashlight Underground, black as night No telling what you're gonna find in me Set it free (free) Set it free (free) Lord, set it free (free) Set it free Come set it free (Set it free) I got treasure up in heaven (Set it free) I got dirt all over me (Set it free) I got treasure up in heaven (Set it free) Come dig a little deeper now And set that diamond free
