Diamond from the Rough

There’s a place that you knew
Once upon a lost time
Where the summers were golden
And your heart was untied
You ran down a hidden trail to the sea
And you let the waves roll your dreams round your feet

Now there’s rocks to climb over
And the rivers don’t part
There is blood on the ground
And a stain on your heart
The cracks run deep behind lilacs and stone
But don’t you crumble. You weren’t born to let go

Rise up, rise up
Rise up, rise up

Rise up, rise up
Rise up, a diamond from the rough
A diamond from the rough
A diamond

On the slope there’s a humming
Where your love’s gone to ground
In your past there’s a cavern
Where the darkness bears down
The skies hang grey over hills of regret
You’re so scared of broken heroes. But close your eyes and take that step

Rise up, rise up
Rise up, rise up

Rise up, rise up
Rise up, a diamond from the rough
A diamond from the rough
