There was a boy blameless and pure.
Imagine the joy running, reading.
Without a fear in his soul.
Without a pose or a role.
Just being a victim of life.
His flare to strife.
Innocent enough,
Diamond in the rough.
He was alone, tender but lonely.
He found someone, trust him blindly.
This fellow taught him how to feel.
To smile forever was the deal.
He kept on growing, learning.
Experience ascending.
But without a cough.
Diamond in the rough.
Diamond in the rough

Even though is tough.
Diamond in the rough.
Diamond in the rough
You’re such a break

Diamond in the rough.
Diamond in the rough.
Diamond in the…

Without complaining, judging.
Upstream the drowning, caring.
Nothing turn him off.
Diamond in the rough.
Diamond in the rough
You’re such a break
For the mistake of being awake
Diamond in the rough.
Diamond in the rough.
Diamond in the…
