A Diamond Behind the Dirt

from Chocolate and Red Wine by Emma Forman

/

lyrics

I could tell by your eyes that you're down on your luck
trying to keep up with the world around you
but it is getting too hard to fake a smile
it is getting too hard to even try

*chorus
And so much beauty that never gets noticed
and so much sparkle that never gets seen
In this world of greyness it is a shame nobody sees it
there is a diamond behind the dirt
there is a diamond behind the dirt

And I I I wish you happiness
And I I I wish you peace
Yeah I wish they could see all your beauty
I wish they could see there is a diamond behind the dirt
there is a diamond behind the dirt


you've stood on the edge and waited on a sign that everything would be alright
if you believed you had to strong
I know how it feels and I know it hurts

*chorus

there is a diamond behind the dirt
