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 you¹re lonely (you¹re not alone)
when you¹re heart aches (on diamond road)
it¹s gonna take a little time
yeah, it¹s gonna take a little time
when the night falls (you¹re not alone)
when you¹re stumbling (on diamond road)
it¹s gonna take a little time
to make it to the other side
so don¹t miss the diamonds along the way

every road has led us here today
little bird, what¹s troubling you
you know what you have to do
what is yours you¹ll never lose
and what¹s ahead may shine
beneath the promise of blue skies
with broken wings we¹ll learn to fly
pull yourself out of the tide
and begin the dream again

chorus

so don¹t miss the diamonds along the way
every road has led us here today
won¹t 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 don¹t fade away

chorus

don¹t miss the diamonds along the way
every road has led us here today
life is what happens while you¹re making plans
all that you need is right here in your hands.
