about

Diamond in Black is a lament to all the children who tragically perish in the hands of poverty, wars, and injustice.

lyrics

You have chosen life
Just like any other soul
But its not you or I
Who will cruelly make the call
If I had the power, I would wipe out this order

I would take less if it gives you
A chance to grow
I would hold you in my arms
Twinkling little star
Let you grow with love, only love

I am not going to lie or try and convince you
That we know what is fair or there is justice to protect you
Like this is not enough, there’s a darker truth
Some do not cry as they are snatching your youth

Now all that I can say
You’re a diamond in black
We’ll remember with love

Please forget all you’ve seen
There’s still beauty in this world
Why you’ve not been granted rips my heart apart
Your stay was short and your family was helpless
Remember them fondly, it wasn’t their fault

Hope you feel it in your bones
As you trade your path
That we send you with love, only love

What we’ve built all around you
Noone could stand
Wherever you’re going
I do understand
As you’re walking out of this man made hell
I wish I were with you
Holding your little hand

Hold your little palm
Walking along
Walking with love, only love
