Pressure Makes Diamonds

Pressure makes diamonds, not silver or gold
 It breaks to pieces the hardest of stone
 And it shines brighter than the stars that you know
 Pressure makes diamonds and hard work pays off
 Pressure makes diamonds no giant can hold
 He thought he could carry this world on his own
 But even the strongest can't do it alone
 Pressure makes diamonds and hard work pays off
 You have to sharpen the edges, smoothen the surface
 It'll take you some time 'cause it's rough and it's tough
 Then you'll find what you're looking for
 Appearin' like a falling star
 Shake off the dirt, let it shine
 Pressure makes diamonds, a long heavy road
 First the weight on your shoulders is crushing your bones
 And then it gets darker than the blackest of coal
 Pressure makes diamonds, 'cause hard work pays off
 You have to sharpen the edges, smoothen the surface
 It'll take you some time 'cause it's rough and it's tough
 Then you'll find what you're looking for
 Appearin' like a falling star
 Shake off the dirt, let it shine
