Pressure Makes Diamonds lyrics

Pressure makes diamonds

Not silver or gold

It breaks to pieces

The hardest of stone

And it shines brighter

Than the stars that you know

Pressure makes diamonds

And hard work pays off

Pressure makes diamonds

No giant can hold

He thought he could carry

This world on his own

But even the strongest

Can't do it alone

Cause pressure makes diamonds

And hard work pays off

You have to sharpen the edges

Smoothen the surface

It'll take you some time

Cause it's rough and it's tough

Then you find what you're looking for

Appearing like a falling star

Shake off the dirt

Let it shine

Pressure makes diamonds

A long heavy road

First the weight on your shoulders

Is crushing your bones

And then it gets darker

Than the blackest of coal

Cause pressure makes diamonds

And hard work pays off

You have to sharpen the edges

Smoothen the surface

It'll take you some time

Cause it's rough and it's tough

Then you find what you're looking for

Appearing like a falling star

Shake off the dirt

Let it shine

Pressure makes diamonds

Not silver or gold

It breaks to pieces

The hardest of stone

And it shines brighter

Than the stars that you know

Cause pressure makes diamonds

And hard work pays off

Hmm, pressure makes diamonds

And hard work pays off
