What you are, what you are now

What you are what you want to be

I could not make my promise to you

There's a sudden change in sound

Cascading words that drown you out

Like a tidal wave.

Like diamonds, we're built with time

We've come a long way to change our minds

Like diamonds, we're built with time

It's a long way, such a long wait so.

Shine on, shine, up and up we go

To the back, to the back we'll run.

What I am, what I am now

I'm a man of something more

I could not break my promise to you.

There's a constant running thought

That teaches what we ought to be

But we'll break away.

Like diamonds, we're built with time

We've come a long way to change our minds

Like diamonds, we're built with time

It's a long way, such a long wait so.
