about

Never let go your fight....

lyrics

Feels like quicksand
the more you fight, you lose your grip on the land
like only a fish on hot sand can understand
what the ocean is
caught raw
can’t can’t find your way back home
or what that is anymore
anyway

But dig your heels in hard, hold tight.
raise your eye toward the light
and Don’t look down
never let go your fight
Because a diamond don’t find it’s brilliance with just one...
chip on it’s face
takes a multitude of breaks before
it takes on the shine
and the shine takes time
oh the shine takes time

It’s gettin’ pretty dark these days
there’s no time left to lose
you’re gonna have to make a stand soon
you’re gonna have to choose
what you believe in
all the world loves a diamond
it makes a sparkly ring
for your lover’s finger
but it could cost you everything

Billion year old trees to carbon
crushed by time, from coal to diamonds
but we ride the coal train these days
burning our diamonds before they’re even made

But dig your heels in hard hold tight
raise your heart toward the light
don’t look down
never let go your fight
Because a diamond don’t find it’s brilliance with just one
chip on it’s face
takes a multitude of breaks before
it takes on the shine
and the shine takes time
oh the shine takes time

But dig your heels in hard, hold tight.
raise your arms toward the light
don’t look down
never let go your fight
Because a diamond don’t find it’s brilliance with just one
chip on it’s face
takes a multitude of breaks before
it takes on the shine
and the shine takes time
oh the shine takes time
