|
As each long day rolls by and falls behind me |
|
In the lonely night there's a peacefulness |
|
I've found |
|
Though I'm weary even then when |
|
I rise to start again |
|
Ther'll be a diamond a diamond in my crown |
|
I have wasted all that life has laid before me |
|
I have watched as all the green fields turn to brown |
|
But I shall not disavow all these ties that bind me now |
|
Ther'll be a diamond a diamond in my crown |
|
Shinning down some day |
|
I know brighter than all their streets of gold |
|
When the burdens that |
|
I carry I will lay down |
|
And the sorrows |
|
I have known |
|
I'll see them all be overthrown |
|
Ther'll be a diamond a diamond in my crown |
|
Through the passing of the years |
|
I will grow stronger |
|
Just as sure as this old world keeps spinning round |
|
Then the closer |
|
I will be to my sweetest victory |
|
There'll be a diamond a diamond in my crown |
