Diamond Child (Feat. Most People)

I was just a boy with a heavy soul
Too deep for the world, but they'll never know
Every smile I wore was a quiet disguise
Every tear I hid was a prayer in my eyes
They said I was different, they pushed me aside
But my heart was too tender, too full inside
All the pain I carried was a weight I bore
Till I fell on my knees, couldn't take no more
I whispered soft into the sky so high
"Hashem, can You hear my broken cry?"
And in the silence I began to see
The diamond inside, that's been buried in me
I'm moving on, I'm breaking free
No more chains, no past defining me
Forgiveness flows, like rivers wide
I love that child I used to hide
I'm shining now, I'm not the same
Turned my trauma into flame
I forgive them, I forgive me
Hashem showed me who I'm meant to be
All the nights I thought I was lost and small
Every shadow whispered I'd never stand tall
But through prayer and the work, I've come alive
That little boy inside, he still survives
I'll protect his laughter, I'll heal his pain
He's the reason sunshine comes after rain
No more shame, I see the truth so clear
I'm a diamond child, I was always here
I'm moving on, I'm breaking free
No more chains, no past defining me
Forgiveness flows, like rivers wide
I love that child I used to hide
I'm shining now, I'm not the same
Turned my trauma into flame
I forgive them, I forgive me
Hashem showed me who I'm meant to be
Yeah, I was drowning in silence, nobody could see
A boy with emotions too heavy to breathe
Carried the weight of a world on my chest
Searching for love in a world that rejects
But Hashem took the pieces, built me brand new
Said "Son, your heart's a gift, don't let it break you"
Now I rise from the ashes, scars turn to gold
Every wound is a story that needed to be told
So I forgive the ones who never understood
And I bless the pain, 'cause it turned me to good
I embrace the child I thought I had lost
A diamond was born, no matter the cost
I'm moving on, I'm breaking free
No more chains, no past defining me
Forgiveness flows, like rivers wide
I love that child I used to hide
I'm shining now, I'm not the same
Turned my trauma into flame
I forgive them, I forgive me
Hashem showed me who I'm meant to be
