lyrics

Diamond Mine
I was digging a real deep hole for quite some time it’s true
I thought I might make it down to the center of the earth
because I give my best shot to everything that I do
And just when I was ready for the great collapse
Seal me in I did declare, I found I diamond in the darkest mine
And now I’m coming up for air
I found a diamond in the darkest mine
And if I can make it to the surface on time
I will live for every moment she shines
That little diamond of mine
Digging a hole with my two hands A little deeper every day
The lower that I let myself slip down
The little light I had left seemed to slip away
And with no light left and just half a breath
I sat waiting on closing time
But now I’m scrambling to make it back to the surface again
Because I found a little something that shines
I found a diamond in the darkest mine
And if I can make it to the surface on time
I will live for every moment she shines
That little diamond of mine
How many lonesome nights will you spend
Your breakdown just around the bend
How many loathsome nights will you spend
Dancing on the edge of an accident
If you’re down in dark old mine and you can’t see no light anywhere
Reach out with your heart not your eyes or arms to see your way out of there
Go ahead and shine a little light of your own
You might bounce it off a precious stone
And that stone might go and bounce it back bright
And turn your dark little world into a whole new life
