Diamond in the Sun

Now I've been trying to keep it down

I know this world can be uptight

I get sideways looks everywhere I go

But if following my heart is wrong

I don't want to be right

See I'm a wildfire but all I do is glow

And in my heart I've got a marching band

And they're beating drums

Singing, "You've been quiet for much too long"

And the tension's rising

I'm 'bout to blow

Can't stay in the box you made for me, no no

Can't hold it in no more

I can't bite my tongue

I'm gonna sing like I'm a song that must be sung

I can't hold it in no more

My time is come

I'm gonna shine like I'm a diamond in the sun

Shimmy shimmy shine with me now, hey

Woh oh

I say hey

Woh oh

Shimmy shimmy shine with me now, hey

Woh oh

Say ay

Woh oh

Hey

So, World, you best get ready

There is no one quite like me

No copies of my soul that I have seen

And I'm on this Earth for something

And that something is unique

Falling in line is not the kind I wanna be

And in my heart I've got a marching band

And they're beating drums

Singing, "You've been quiet for much too long"

And the tension's rising

I'm 'bout to blow

Can't stay in the box you made for me, no no

I can't hold it in no more

I can't bite my tongue

I'm gonna sing like I'm a song that must be sung

I can't hold it in no more

My time is come

I'm gonna shine like I'm a diamond in the sun

Shimmy shimmy shine with me now, hey

Woh oh

Say hey

Woh oh

Shimmy shimmy shine with me now, hey

Woh oh

I say hey

Woh oh

So I'ma shine

Oh I'ma shine on through

Whether you like my shine or not

At least it's true

I can't hold it in no more

I can't bite my tongue

I'm gonna sing like I'm a song that must be sung

I can't hold it in no more

My time is come

I'm gonna shine like I'm a diamond in the sun

I can't hold it in no more

Just having fun

I'm gonna sing like I'm a song that must be sung

I can't hold it in no more

My time is come

I'm gonna shine like I'm a diamond in the sun

Shimmy shimmy shine with me now, hey

Woh oh

Say hey

Woh oh

Shimmy shimmy shine with me now, hey

Woh oh

Say hey

Woh oh
