Diamonds on the Inside
Ben Harper
I knew a girl Her name was truth She was a horrible liar She couldn't spend one day alone But she couldn't be satisfied When you have everything You have everything to lose She made herself a bed of nails And she's planning on putting it to use But she had diamonds on the inside She had diamonds on the inside She had diamonds on the inside Diamonds A candle throws its light into the darkness In a nasty world so shines a good deed Make sure the fortune that you seek Is the fortune that you need Tell me why the first to ask Is the last to give everytime What you say and do not mean Follows you close behind Refrain Like the soldier long standing under fire Any change comes as a relief Let the giver's name remain unspoken She is just a generous thief Refrain
