Diamond in the Rough

Well I've been up yeah
And I've been down
Been kicked around here
This god-forsaken town.
So many faults, so little time.
I've gotta find my piece of mind.
Peace of mind.

I was looking for somethin'
Anything at all.
Something to believe in.
Spray painted on the walls.
I've made mistakes yeah, I paid for them too.
What's a poor boy supposed to do.

There you sit like a diamond in the rough
You're dirty and you're damaged.
All you need's a little love.
But inside you sparkle, like the stars above.
You'll be there in the morning, when the going gets tough.

There was a time when, I could not say
I got a reason to live another day.
Discarded treasure y'all passed on by
And I can understand the reasons why

There you sit like a diamond in the rough
You're dirty and you're damaged.
All you need's a little love.
But inside you sparkle, like the stars above.
We'll be there in the morning, when the going gets tough.

There you sit like a diamond in the rough
You're dirty and you're damaged.
All you need's a little love.
But inside you sparkle, like the stars above.
We'll be there in the morning, when the going gets tough.

Diamond in the rough
like the stars above.
All you need's a little love.
We'll be there in the morning, when the going gets tough
Diamond in the rough
like the stars above.
All you need's a little love.
