Diamonds On The Inside lyrics

What started as a whisper
Slowly turned into a scream
Searching for an answer
Where the question is unseen
I don't know where you came from
And I don't know where you've gone
Old friends become old strangers
Between the darkness and the dawn
Amen Omen
Will I see your face again
Amen Omen
Can I find the place within
To live my life without you

I still hear you saying

Corcovado parted the sky
And through the darkness
On us He shined
Crucified in stone
Still his blood is my own
Glory behold all my eyes have seen

I am blessed to be a witness

Some have flown away
And can't be with us here today
Like the hills of my home
Some have crumbled and are now gone
Gather around for today won't come again

I am blessed to be a witness

So much sorrow and pain

When it's on the one you know the funk's begun
When you are down and out there is no doubt
You need the funk
Just bring the funk
Bring the funk
Bring the funk

Now what's the problem everybody's got them
Just get the hole out of your soul
And bring the funk
Bring me the funk
Bring the funk

If you got a glass closet don't you throw no bones
There's only getting until the getting's gone

If I knew,
being here with you today
would mean being alone tomorrow.
I would gladly trade
all of my tomorrows away
for a moment with you.

Brown Eyed Blues
You can find yourself another fool.

Can you look
into my eyes
or has your heart gone blind?
Can you look
into your own
and find the safe place to hide?

Brown Eyed Blue
you can find yourself another fool.

Why be with a stranger

I knew a girl
Her name was truth
She was a horrible liar.

She couldnt spend one day along
But she couldnt be satisfied

When you have everything,
You have everything to lose.
She made herself
A bed of nails
And shes plannin' on puttin' it to use.

Cos she had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
Diamonds

A candle throws its light into the darkness

Behind all your tears
There's a smile
Behind all of the rain
There's a sunshine for miles and miles
Everything
Everything
You mean everything
You mean everything
Everything to me

The colors of your garden
They're yellow, blue, and green
And the sound of your sweet voice
It's better than all my dreams
Everything
Everything
You mean everything
You mean everything
Everything to me

I know you may not want to see me
On your way down from the clouds
Would you hear me if I told you
That my heart is with you now

She's only happy in the sun
She's only happy in the sun

Did you find what you were after
The Pain and the laughter brought you to your knees
But if the sun sets you free, sets you free
You'll be free indeed

She's only happy in the sun
She's only happy in the sun

Once you know
You can never turn back
But I understand
'Cause we all fear what we lack
Being with you
Makes me tired as hell
And it's so high so low

Now if I was strong
And you were male
You'd be dead
And I would be in jail
Being with you
Makes me tired as hell
And it's so high so low

Don't go making promises
You know you won't keep
Weddings turn to funerals

i killed a snake with a bible
i was living a johnny cash song
i'm afraid for this i may be liable
so it's best i be moving along

just a temporary remedy
running through my veins

summer lasted through november
funny when it's gone you miss the cold
words spoken for a lifetime
we can never hear 'till we're told

just a temporary remedy
running through my veins

they tell me nothing is perfect

I need to sleep but I'm too tired
I need to calm down but I'm too wired
When the sun comes up I miss the moon
Cause I know tomorrow is gonna come too soon
She only wants to be wanted
But time crumbles blue roses to dust
Now I long to feel the touch from your lust

Scars on your back tell where you've been
But I'll roll like the ocean if you'll blow like the wind

You're A Prison
I can't escape
You're a decision
I never make
heard me laughing
you heard me weep and moan

(chorus)
When its good
its all so good
when its gone
its gone

they say time will
kill the pain
i say pain is going kill my time
lord wont u save me
or leave me alone

(chorus)

i hang your picture
above my mind
dont do anything
you cant deny
i could never
be your pawn

(chorus)

When the good Lord is such a good Lord
With such a good mother too
They have blessed me, they have blessed me
In the good graces of you
Now I I have heard a hundred violons crying
And I I have seen a hundred white doves flying
But nothing is as beautiful as when she believes
When she believes, when she believes
When she believes, when she believes
When she believes... in me
Oh in me
Mmmm... oh

I can change the world
with my own two hands
make a better place
with my own two hands
make a kinder place
with my own two hands
with my own, with my own two hands
with my own, with my own two hands

I can make peace on earth
with my own two hands
And i can clean up the earth
With my own two hands
And I can reach out to you
With my own two hands
With my own, with my own two hands
