This song is based on Diamonds on the Inside by Ben Harper.
I knew a girl
her name was Truth
She was a horrible liar
She always knew
she couldn't change
no matter what she
tried to do
She saved the whales
Holy Grail
set the hearts on fire
Given that
we know not enough
to say this is truth
Given time
and not enough love
we will all expire
But given just enough
from above
we may all be proved
Life is just
a bag of dreams
and a small sack of desire
If we just
didn't live
as the proud man chooses
Woman
you're so fine
and you can reach higher
May we just
touch a little
but not get loose
Sometimes things
are not what they seem
Some times things do conspire
Keep your ears
to the ground
and your eyes on the skies
All the while
we try to change ourselves
All the way to the pyre
That burns away
what we know
until we lose
Live your life
as best you can
and don't be upset when mired
That chains that hold
you to the ground
are the chains
that will one day let lose
The world might change
when you wink
You can tell with your eyes
What have we
to be fearful
when we have Jesus
Love yourself
with the flame
of a burning desire
Help each other
make a name
and don't be confused
Make your life
a pleasant dream
so you awake
into life
Give yourself
the ways and means
to be what you choose
Chorus
