I wanna be a shining diamond
I wanna sparkle in the light
I wanna shine so you can see the sun reflecting and remember all the warmth that it provides

I wanna sing to you in major chords
I wanna be your lullaby
I wanna be the last thing that you hear when you slip into the kind of sleep with dreams where you can fly

But I am dark, dark clay
I'm all made up of earth and ugly rain
But even when I twist myself to sad and awful shapes
You find a way to love me anyway
You keep finding ways to love me anyway

So maybe this will be my story
Maybe this will be my song
That even if I'm made from only cold and lonely clay, your love can make it so I'm willing to keep fighting, fighting on
If you're with me, I'll keep fighting, fighting on

So even if I never sparkle
Even if the winter's never gone
Maybe I can still provide a little bit of hope to those that need to know that everything's not wrong
Even in the winter, everything's not wrong

I am dark, dark clay
I'm all made up of earth and ugly rain
I'm the kind of scene no one should ever want to paint
But you find a way to love me anyway
You keep finding ways to love me anyway
