Lyric Ashes And Diamonds

I ve seen ashes turning into life
I ve seen diamonds turn to dust
I ve seen people turning love into lust
I ve seen true love on a darkened street
And make believe at a preacher s feet
But I know where I stand when I m with you

Ashes and diamonds, imprisoned and free
Such is the world we re in forever to be
But ashes and diamonds, imprisoned or free
Wouldn t be hard to face for as long as you re here with me

I ve been down and out like a beggar s child
I ve been up where life is sweet
And I ve tasted all the world that flows between
I ve seen smiling faces in shanty towns
And frowning faces with jewelled crowns
But I know where I stand when I m with you

Ashes and diamonds, imprisoned and free
Such is the world we re in forever to be
But ashes and diamonds, imprisoned or free
Wouldn t be hard to face for as long as you re here with me

I ve seen true love on a darkened street
And make believe at a preacher s feet
But I know where I stand when I m with you

Ashes and diamonds, imprisoned and free
Such is the world we re in forever to be
But ashes and diamonds, imprisoned or free
Wouldn t be hard to face for as long as you re here with me
Wouldn t be hard to face for as long as you re here with me
