What you are what you are now
what you are what you want to be
I could not make my promise to you
theres a sudden change in sound
cascading words that drown you out
like a tidal wave
Like diamonds
were built with time
Weve come a long way
to change our minds
Like diamonds
were built with time
Its a long way
such a long wait so
Shine on shine up and up we go
to the back to the back well run
Shine on shine up and up we go
to the back to the back well run
What I am what I am now
Im a man of something more
I could not break
my promise to you
Theres a constant running thought
that teaches what we ought to be
but well break away
Like diamonds
were built with time
Weve come a long way
to change our minds
Like diamonds
were built with time
Its a long way
such a long wait so
Shine on shine up and up we go
to the back to the back well run
Shine on shine up and up we go
to the back to the back well run
Like diamonds
were built with time
Weve come a long way
to change our minds
Like diamonds
were built with time
Its a long way
such a long wait so
Shine on shine up and up we go
to the back to the back well run
Shine on shine up and up we go
to the back to the back well run
