Desperate to say that it is when it isn't

Lost in the ocean of your optimism

The sea of denial

You are an island

You know if I could, I would swim out that far

Carry you home to who you really are

Relight your fire, but I can't.

Mining for diamonds, you dig in the dirt

Ooh, ooh, ooh...

Down in the darkness, it's gonna hurt

Ooh...

It's what every searching soul in the great unknown must be brave and do

You will find your deepest you.

I see your pain and I travel in time

Back to the wildness you had as a child

Dancing and laughter

Free

The whole world back then as it lay at your feet

Now it's on your back and you struggle to keep

Everything hidden

But I see.

Mining for diamonds, you dig in the dirt

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Down in the darkness, it's gonna hurt

Ooh

It's what every searching soul in the great unknown must be brave and do

You will find your deepest you.

I'm desperate to say I can make it alright

Knock down the walls your heart's hiding behind

I could never, but you can.
