I'm a diamond
bright shiny diamond
And [bad word] from so far away
10, 000 miles
might of a child

To be cut, set and sold to anyone who'll pay
Here I am upon your hand
See how bright I shine
Beauty fades but I remain the picture of your life
The proof you did it right

I'm a diamond
What good is a diamond
In a world brought to its knees

And flooded with hatred
Oh, is nothing sacred
But a stone, sharp, and cold
And still you covet me

Here I am on your hand
See how bright I shine
Beauty fades but I remain the picture of your life
The proof you did it right

Bought and sold, all for a piece of coal
Bought and sold all for a piece of coal
All for a piece of coal

Here I am on your hand
See how bright I shine
Beauty fades so I remain the picture of your life
Here I am on your hand
See how bright I shine
Oooh, beauty fades so I remain the picture of your life
The picture of your life
The proof you did it right
