Give me something classic
Something that'll last forever
More durable than plastic
And stronger than leather
I don't mean magic
I need something better
Something that comes from blood and sweat and tears
And years and years and years of pressure

I took all the sticks and stones
All the blows and bricks they throw
Everything that ever gave me scars
All the hurt and bridges burned
Every word and lesson learned
And turned it into art
And in time built a diamond heart

I built a diamond heart

Even in the night sky
Stars keep glowing
Even under concrete
Flowers keep growing
They said I'd never make it
But I keep going
Oh, 'cause life is more than just survival
Every step is my revival

I took all the sticks and stones
All the blows and bricks they throw
Everything that ever gave me scars
All the hurt and bridges burned
Every word and lesson learned
And turned it into art
And in time built a diamond heart

When the light hits me just right
It's like no other
The storm and the rain
Made a million colors
All the flowers blooming summer
Light has cut in
Through the darkest hour
And I call it art
It all made a diamond heart

I built a diamond heart
I built a diamond heart
