Beth Young

(Verse 1)
It pains my soul to be shut away
It's cast aside
And bid a good day.

I claim to have accepted myself
My flaws, my imperfections.
But each time I stand in front a crowd,
I cower in shame and run away.
I just cower in shame and run away.


(Pre-chorus)
But something I've learned
Through the dirt of this journey
Is,


(Chorus)
A diamond cannot be perfected.
It's shine glows always.
It's a beauty to behold.

A diamond cannot be perfected.
It's shine glows always.
It's a beauty to behold.

So don't cover up your diamond
It's power overrules all shame, anxieties and wounds we hold inside.
Wear your diamond proudly,
And you can't be denied.
You can't be denied.


(Verse 2)
It takes so much to conceal myself
I'm drained 'n' tired,
It's completely backfired

I feel like I've trapped myself again,
In this dry wasteland of a terrain.
Inside this dry wasteland of a terrain.


(Pre-Chorus)
But something I've learned
Through the dirt of this journey
Is,


(Chorus)
A diamond cannot be perfected.
It's shine glows always.
It's a beauty to behold.

A diamond cannot be perfected.
It's shine glows always.
It's a beauty to behold.

So don't cover up your diamond
It's power overrules all shame, anxieties and wounds we hold inside.
Wear your diamond proudly,
And you can't be denied.
You can't be denied.
You can never, ever, ever be denied.
