Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Vulnerable love
Vulnerable strength
I've been dreaming
That a diamond would be born
[Verse 2]
The more I love you
The more light I let in
I've been dreaming
That the pressure would be pure
And a diamond would be born
[Chorus]
I look at myself through a broken lens
Try my best to keep from unravelling
The child inside is looking out
And holding on to the dream
That your love would cause a diamond to be born
[Bridge]
Oh, all the things I've tried
The things I've run from
Search for a better life
It was me, I know
Just want to be
Just want to be free
In the search for a better way
Written by: Isom Innis, Mark Foster
