Diamond In My Crown

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
