What you are, what you are now

what you are what you want to be

I could not break my

Promise to you

There's a sudden change in sound

Cascading words that

Drown you out like

A tidal wave

Like diamonds, we're built with time

We've come a long way to change our minds

Like diamonds, we're built with time

We've come a long way, it such a long wait

Shine on, shine..., up and up we go

To the back, to the back we'll run

Shine on, shine..., up and up we go

To the back, to the back we'll run

What I am, what I am now

I'm a man of something more

I could not break my

Promise to you

There's a constant running thought

That teaches what we

Ought to be but

We'll break away

Like diamonds, we're built with time

We've come a long way to change our minds

Like diamonds, we're built with time

We've come a long way, it such a long wait

Shine on, shine..., up and up we go

To the back, to the back we'll run

Shine on, shine..., up and up we go

To the back, to the back we'll run

Like diamonds, we're built with time

We've come a long way to change our minds

Like diamonds, we're built with time

We've come a long way, it such a long wait

Shine on, shine..., up and up we go

To the back, to the back we'll run

Shine on, shine..., up and up we go

To the back, to the back we'll run
