Diamond in the Sky

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You kept your best ideas folded in your coat A little paper compass, one half-finished note Then morning found the window, drew a line of gold You took one careful step beyond the things you’d known [Pre-Chorus] All that time you thought you had to wait But the sky was wide enough to make your own way [Chorus] Like a diamond in the sky, you catch the open blue Every side a different color coming through When the clouds move on, there’s nothing left to hide You were made to shine, like a diamond in the sky [Verse 2] The bus rolled past the harbor, gulls above the roofs You laughed at how the salt wind shook your careful truth You called your sister from the corner by the store And said, “I think I’m ready to be scared no more” [Pre-Chorus] All that time you thought you had to wait But the sky was wide enough to make your own way [Chorus] Like a diamond in the sky, you catch the open blue Every side a different color coming through When the clouds move on, there’s nothing left to hide You were made to shine, like a diamond in the sky [Bridge] Keep the small beginnings, keep the crooked lines Keep the days you doubted, they are yours, not signs Turn your face toward morning, let the old fear fly There’s a thousand shades of you against the sky [Final Chorus] Like a diamond in the sky, you catch the open blue Every side a different color coming through When the clouds move on, there’s nothing left to hide You were made to shine, you were made to shine Like a diamond in the sky [Outro] You were made to shine Like a diamond in the sky
