Pressure Makes Diamonds
A penny for your thoughts
I wonder why you stand there
Alone by the door
I know life gave more
Than you should absorb
And that you foretell
You can't take anymore
But what was before
Is not what you're made of
And those who hurt you
Don't represent all
See what's ahead can go
Far and beyond
If you trust that darkness
Will give dawn
Come away with me
I'll show you what I see
We're dancing in a crowded street
Offbeat and bare feet
We barely notice it
What once made you
Inclined to hide
Has turned into your
Armor of shine
See, pressure makes diamonds
I know once bitten twice shy
Seemed to be the story of
Your life
And that you relied on
Your defence
Promised no one ever
Would get close again
But once you're used to be
Loved like this
You'll rise as a phoenix
From the ashes
And you will learn
How to blow in the wind
No longer take shelter
By isolating
Don't live life as an island
Release yourself
From confinement
We will show you reliance
By shining rays of enlightenment
So come away with me
I'll show you what I see
We're dancing in a crowded street
Offbeat and bare feet
We barely notice it
What once made you
Inclined to hide
Has turned into
Your armor of shine
See, pressure makes diamonds
Soon we will watch you glow
Dancing on your own
You'll internalize the love
You've been shown
And then you will know
Just how far you can go
You'll realize your paths expose
All your pasts and tomorrows
Cause layers of both
Light and shadows
With pressure makes diamonds
I wonder why you stand there
Alone by the door
I know life gave more
Than you should absorb
And that you foretell
You can't take anymore
But what was before
Is not what you're made of
And those who hurt you
Don't represent all
See what's ahead can go
Far and beyond
If you trust that darkness
Will give dawn
Come away with me
I'll show you what I see
We're dancing in a crowded street
Offbeat and bare feet
We barely notice it
What once made you
Inclined to hide
Has turned into your
Armor of shine
See, pressure makes diamonds
I know once bitten twice shy
Seemed to be the story of
Your life
And that you relied on
Your defence
Promised no one ever
Would get close again
But once you're used to be
Loved like this
You'll rise as a phoenix
From the ashes
And you will learn
How to blow in the wind
No longer take shelter
By isolating
Don't live life as an island
Release yourself
From confinement
We will show you reliance
By shining rays of enlightenment
So come away with me
I'll show you what I see
We're dancing in a crowded street
Offbeat and bare feet
We barely notice it
What once made you
Inclined to hide
Has turned into
Your armor of shine
See, pressure makes diamonds
Soon we will watch you glow
Dancing on your own
You'll internalize the love
You've been shown
And then you will know
Just how far you can go
You'll realize your paths expose
All your pasts and tomorrows
Cause layers of both
Light and shadows
With pressure makes diamonds
