Lyrics Diamond in the Fire - Will Champlin

Diamond in the Fire

Come hell or high water
I can’t stop the rain
Time heals hurting
but can’t freeze the flame
Can’t take an arrow to a pharaoh
with a heart of stone
and I know
I can’t build seven cities
or slow down time
I can’t walk on water
but I’ll drink all the wine
Everyday is like a battle
and loves a crusade
so here’s your victory parade
So set if off (stand up)
You gotta march to the beat
of your own drum
if you ever be somebody
gotta march to the beat
of your own drum
if you ever gonna gonna
gonna be be be
I don’t wanna lose this feeling
I don’t wanna give it all away
I just wanna live forever
and I could shine
like a diamond in the fire.
Burning through the day
looking for another way
to push the sky a little bit higher
and be a diamond in the fire
Now you’re giving up your ghost
and turning on your fate
straight for the finish line
but you sailed away
they forge your name in blood
and they tell they’re saints
they put a price on your soul
so you can buy your grave
You gotta fight every hour
of the powers that be
till you write your own pages
down in history
Well see all the kings hoses
and all the kings men
couldn’t build that wall up again
Mistakenly taking me
as something for nothing
but you don’t know
you’re fueling the fire of desire
But you’re dying inside
you struggle to walk the line
while balancing peace of mind
We gotta keep the love alive
Diamond in the fire
