Monique Brumby - Like Diamonds lyrics

It was a day like today I was in my house when I heard a cryin' outside in the street A young boy 'bout 17 leanin' against a wall I'd never seen him before But something inside of me made me leave my front door I crossed the road, I knelt down beside him," it'll be ok" I gave him $20 and told him to take it easy on his way Home, home, where we leave all our treasures, our simple pleasures for the streets Men and women alike, like you or I, yes I've seen 'em before Like diamonds falling from an ageless sky When I look inside I see it crystal clear, it'll be ok Giving frees my soul and eases my heartache It was a day like today They were in their houses when they heard a cryin' outside in the street A young girl like you or I leanin' against a wall, yes I've seen her before She was me when I was 17 It was troubled time and when I look back now I'd have to say If it wasn't for the love of my family I surely would have lost my way Home, home, that's where we open up, reveal what it is we hold inside the sacred cup Imagine if we were brave enough to let it out In public places to show our love but not our hatred Love, love, where will you be in years from now Will you feel empathy for that boy like me Who cried his tears outside in my street Like diamonds falling from an ageless sky When I look inside I see the crystal clear, it'll be ok Giving frees my soul and eases my heartache Like diamonds, we're like diamonds Each of us sparkle and we shine Like diamonds, we're like diamonds You and I, you and I Like diamonds, we're like diamonds You and I, you and I, you and I
