Do you believe in the restoration of a broken life Hiding behind a face yeah you never know what you might find There in the darkness beneath the surface of time and space Could be a treasure that you'd only see thru the eyes of grace Looking for a diamond in the black coal It feels good when you strike gold Diamond in the black coal If you never look then you're never gonna know Well it's so sad when something so radiate is kept from the light Cause I've seen divine transformation that Jesus provides And like a jeweler with a lifeless gemstone He can make you shine You could be a diamond in the black coal It feels good when you strike gold Diamond in the black coal You gotta look or you're never gonna know Precious diamonds Brilliant shining It's not always what you see A good heart is just like a Diamond in the black coal It feels good when you strike gold Diamond in the black coal You gotta look or you're never gonna know
