Lyrics

Time Is the Diamond

[Refrain]

If I'm not a lion

And I'm not an island

If time is the diamond

Well all right

Well all right

Well all right

[Verse 1]

Got a weak pair of lungs

From a childhood disease

Will it ever come clean

Well all right

All right

All right

[Verse 2]

Tried to learn from the past

Keep my fist in my mouth

But they just keep falling out

All right

Well all right

All right

[Refrain]

If I'm not a lion

And I'm not an island

If time is the diamond

Well all right

Well all right

Well all right

All right

[Outro]

If I'm not a lion

And I'm not an island

If time is the diamond

Well all right

All right

Well all right

All right

All right

All right

All right

(All right)

Well all right
