Cynthia Erivo - Glowing Up lyrics

[Verse 1] Staring to see a picture of me But It's too hard to look in my eyes I know I'm ashamed I might find what I left behind What I worked for so long to hide But in the end I know what's incredible Is the chance to change myself [Chorus] 'Cause diamonds don't shine Till they been buried alive, oh But I've been in the rough for long enough Tonight I'm glowing up And diamonds can't sparkle Till they find the light they can follow The pressure gets tough for just long enough Tonight I'm glowing up, glowing up Glowing up [Verse 2] Scared at the sight of the sun's dying light We recoil at the cold of the night And though we forget that the moon and the stars will come soon And we'll bathe in the warmth of their light I still remember the time when each day was for crying Oh, I truly hold them dear They're the storm that got me here [Chorus] 'Cause diamonds don't shine (They don't shine, no) Till they been buried alive, oh (Oh) But I've been in the rough for long enough Tonight I'm glowing up (Glowing up) And diamonds can't sparkle (They don't sparkle) Till they find the light they can follow (Oh) The pressure gets tough for just long enough Tonight I'm glowing up, glowing up Glowing up Ooh [Bridge] Might not escape all the pressure, the pain But I'll never fade away I've got too much left to say 'Cause diamonds don't shine Diamonds can't sparkle The pressure gets tough for just long enough Tonight I'm glowing up, glowing up [Chorus] And diamonds can't sparkle (They don't sparkle) Till they find light they can follow (Oh) The pressure gets tough for just long enough Tonight I'm glowing up, glowing up Tonight I'm glowing up, glowing up Tonight I'm glowing up, glowing up Glowing up Oh Glowing up
