"Diamonds" lyrics

If I could talk to God, sit down a spell at his kitchen table
I'd ask him 'bout Heaven and Hell, good and evil
And why do bad things seem to fall on good people?
Would He look me in the eye?
Tell me it's all in the way that you see it
Right now I know that it's hard to believe it
But pain has a purpose, a rhyme and a reason

No pressure, no diamonds
No patience, no pearls
Without rain, there's no roses
The weight of the world is so hard to keep holdin'
But just give it time, 'cause no pressure, no diamonds
One day we're all gonna shine

I can't help but think
Why can't it be easy, this life that we're livin'
If I could just stand in His shoes for a minute
I'd save all the sweet and leave all the bitter
And if I could, you know I would
Fill up your heart when it's battered and broken
Stop a car crash and cancer from growin'
But I'm just flesh and bone, all that I know is

No pressure, no diamonds
No patience, no pearls
Without rain, there's no roses
The weight of the world is so hard to keep holdin'
But just give it time, 'cause no pressure, no diamonds
One day we're all gonna shine

Yeah, we're all gonna shine
It's all in God's time

No pressure, no diamonds
No patience, no pearls
Without rain, there's no roses
The weight of the world is so hard to keep holdin'
But just give it time, 'cause no pressure, no diamonds
One day we're all gonna shine

It's all in God's time
No pressure, no diamonds
One day we're all gonna shine
