Diamond - Brandon Heath

My father’s father broke this ground

Daddy mined till we laid him down

Only God knows what they found beneath

Now here I stand in my own boots

Ax to grind and a point to prove

Tangled up in my own roots, it seems

I got treasure up in Heaven

I got dirt all over me

I have only scratched the surface

Of the man I’m meant to be

I got something down inside of me

That only You can see

Help me dig a little deeper now

And set that diamond free

Why do I do the things I do?

All the things that I don’t want to

Act like I don’t fear You at all

Hard head and a heart of stone

Older now but I haven’t grown

Any riches that I have to show are small

Set it free

Set it free

Set it free

Set it free

Come down with your old flashlight

Underground, black as night
