Lyrics

DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH
in my mind an old country road
thoughts are born, images unfold
I find love a romantic dream
I find the truth in a mad man's scream
(chorus)
there's no purity in time
if you don't sparkle or shine
you can't even cut glass
if you're a diamond in the rough

too many miles down too long of roads
secret of the fear slowly is told
there's a minstrel looking down from a gallery
diamonds in the rough is all we'll ever be
(repeat chorus)
(bridge)
Oh Father smile down on me, I'm a wayward one
Holy Mother will I ever shine like a midnight sun
(lead break)

Darwin's theory has been proven wrong
we don't evolve we don't even get along
there ain't no philosopher's stone
no free conscience under flesh and bone
(repeat chorus)
(outro)
we can't even cut glass we're just diamonds in the rough
