Not everyone sees the things you see The lightning between the trees Not everyone tastes the things you taste The salt in being wicked, the sugar on your knees So don't you dare lose faith Hang your boots on the nail Turn yourself into a man in uniform 'Cause this sorry old world needs diamonds like you Darling, you're a diamond through and through Darling, you're a diamond true For every heart that's true There's a thousand hungry ghosts
