Monique Brumby Lika Diamonds lyrics

It was a day like today
I was in my house when I heard a cryin' outside in the street
A young boy ‘bout 17 leanin' against a wall I'd never seen him before
But something inside of me made me leave my front door
I crossed the road, I knelt down beside him,” it'll be ok”
I gave him $20 and told him to take it easy on his way

Home, home, where we leave all our treasures, our simple pleasures for the streets
Men and women alike, like you or I, yes I've seen ‘em before
Like diamonds falling from an ageless sky
When I look inside I see it crystal clear, it'll be ok
Giving frees my soul and eases my heartache

It was a day like today
They were in their houses when they heard a cryin' outside in the street
A young girl like you or I leanin' against a wall, yes I've seen her before
She was me when I was 17
It was troubled time and when I look back now I'd have to say
If it wasn't for the love of my family I surely would have lost my way


Home, home, that's where we open up, reveal what it is we hold inside the sacred cup
Imagine if we were brave enough to let it out
In public places to show our love but not our hatred
Love, love, where will you be in years from now
Will you feel empathy for that boy like me
Who cried his tears outside in my street

Like diamonds falling from an ageless sky
When I look inside I see the crystal clear, it'll be ok
Giving frees my soul and eases my heartache

Like diamonds, we're like diamonds
Each of us sparkle and we shine
Like diamonds, we're like diamonds
You and I, you and I
Like diamonds, we're like diamonds
You and I, you and I, you and I
