Walk with me the diamond road
tell me every story told
give me something of your soul
that i can hold onto
i want to wake up to the sound of waves
crashing on a brand new day
keep the memory of your face
but wipe the pain away

chorus:
when youšre lonely (youšre not alone)
when youšre heart aches (on diamond road)
itšs gonna take a little time
yeah, itšs gonna take a little time
when the night falls (youšre not alone)
when youšre stumbling (on diamond road)
itšs gonna take a little time
to make it to the other side
so donšt miss the diamonds along the way

every road has led us here today
little bird, whatšs troubling you
you know what you have to do
what is yours youšll never lose
and whatšs ahead may shine
beneath the promise of blue skies
with broken wings wešll learn to fly
pull yourself out of the tide
and begin the dream again

chorus

so donšt miss the diamonds along the way
every road has led us here today
wonšt you shine on
morning light
burn the darkness away
walk with me the diamond road
tell me everything is gold
give me something of your soul
so you donšt fade away

chorus

donšt miss the diamonds along the way
every road has led us here today
life is what happens while youšre making plans
all that you need is right here in your hands.
