Diamond in the Fire - Will Champlin

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
