I found a diamond in the middle of the desert
It was shining like the fire in the sun
I picked it up and it was lighter than a feather
And my heart began to beat just like a drum
I held it in my and, I found my way
I could see in all directions near and far
It answered to the question of your future days
Your destination begins right where you are
All your life is just a grain of sand
Turn around, it slips right through your hands
I met a stranger on the path up to the mountain
He was friendly and familiar, looked like me
All the years had faired him well
He was sure of himself, as he travelled back from where I'd hope to be
In his eyes I could see serenity
On his feet he wore no shoes
Though he spoke few simple words
So much more was what I heard
He said every little thing you do comes back to you
All your life is just a grain of sand
Turn around, it slips right through your hands
I had a vision, turned into a revelation
Worth a fortune, it doesn't cost one dime
What ever you possess, be it failure or success
depends on the diamond in your mind
I found a diamond (2X)
And all at once then I could see
A world inside of me
On and on a million million miles
I found a diamond (out)
