Dark Clay

I want to be a shining diamond
 I want to sparkle in the light
 I want to shine so you can see the sun reflecting and remember all the warmth that it provides.
 I want to sing to you in major chords
 I want to be your lullaby
 I want to be the last thing that you hear
 when you slip into the kind of sleep
 with dreams where you can fly
 But I am dark dark clay
 I'm all made up of earth and ugly rain
 But even when I twist myself to sad and awful shapes
 You find a way to love me anyway
 You keep finding ways to love me anyway
 So maybe this will be my story
 Maybe this will be my song
 That even if I'm made from only cold and lonely clay
 Your love can make it so I'm willing to keep fighting, fighting on.
 If you're with me, I'll keep fighting, fighting on.
 So even if I never sparkle
 Even if the winter's never gone
 Maybe I can still provide a little bit of hope to those who need to know that
 everything's not wrong
 Even in the winter, everything's not wrong
 And I am dark dark clay
 I'm all made up of earth and ugly rain
 I'm the kind of scene no one should ever want to paint
 But you find a way to love me anyway
 You keep finding ways to love me anyway
