Diamond
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
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
