Diamond in the Rough
Daddy's mind is hard as stone
Mother cries tears of pearls
Don't know what's going on in your head
But your heart ain't made of steel
Her lips may be ruby red
But it's what's inside that counts
Until you break into her head
She's just another rock in the ground
Diamond in the rough
Surrounded by darkness
It may be really tough
To make it through this mess
But dig and you are sure to find
Beautiful heart, soul and mind
Blackened from a world of coal
Wanna light up that barbeque soul
But look inside and you'll find
A beautiful diamond mine
You never would have guessed
But you're not like all the rest
Diamond in the rough
Surrounded by darkness
It may be really tough
To make it though this mess
But dig and you are sure to find
Beautiful heart, soul and mind
A life of wealth is sure to come
Sparkling like the morning sun
When you clearly see who you are
You'll shine just like a shooting star
Diamond in the rough
Surrounded by darkness
I know that it's soo tough
But you'll make it through this mess
Dig and you will find
O you will find
You
