lyrics

Souls are diamond & we are made of coal
Souls are diamond & we are born of stone

I wanna burn brighter than the rest
but I don't believe in a standardized test
Celebrities, let's line up against the wall
I'd rather hang out with my friends until last call

Their souls are diamond & they are made of coal
Souls are diamond and we are born of stone

I sit & stare at the television screen
I feel so lost, I can't find my scream
A guy I know auditioned up the street
Got the part of a man I'd never want to meet

But his soul is diamond & he is made of coal
Souls are diamond and we are born of stone

I wanna be good & even better
Than that woman I passed getting off the elevator
But I wanna open up my soul
I wanna give more than I hold

My soul is diamond; I am made of coal
Souls are diamond & we are born of stone
