Diamond in our eyes
In the eyes of the world
Luxury indeed in the deep of waters
Humanity at risk of survival
I have watched the tale told
To children of my grand-parents
That we owe destiny around our fate
Precious invention of diamond
The industry is money
The stone is wealth
The labour are suffering
The sweet harvest is fueling blood
It is an invention that aids conflict
It is increasingly becoming a good curse
What ever the name calls
we have the answers in our generation
Meaning development and doing it
Using the commonwealth for the commonwealth
Sharing our heritage together in equity
So does nature demand from leadership
But greed will perish in future
But our people will stand right to fight
Yet our worries are yet to be confirmed
If diamond is money
Let us sell it for the people
If it's wealth
Then the people should be influenced
If it's another name for blood
It has to become bread for life
If it becomes conflict
Then it has to become construction
If we have mistaken it for a curse
Then we have to start making it our blessing
Because, seeing we can do it, we can
Because, we have to be friends together
Seeing our world becomes a better place with it
In a true world that brings joy to all
Seeing, ' we are the world '
We have to be the future too!
