Shine Like a Gem

I longed for love in any way,
Wanted it so much every day
I longed for love, no matter how,
Just to feel it here and now
But I won’t be a stone in the hands of the cold,
I’ll shine like a gem in the arms that hold
I’ll be seen, I’ll be known,
In the light, I’ll stand alone
Not a shadow, not a ghost,
I’m a diamond, I will glow
Once I tried to fit their mold,
Hiding my heart in the dark so cold
But love should never feel like chains,
I break free, I break the pain
I won’t be a stone in the hands of the cold,
I’ll shine like a gem in the arms that hold
I’ll be seen, I’ll be known,
In the light, I’ll stand alone
Not a shadow, not a ghost,
I’m a diamond, I will glow
No more waiting for someone’s sign,
I am precious, I will shine
Love should lift, not bring me down,
I will wear my golden crown
I'm on my way waiting for someone’s sign,
I am precious, I will shine
Love should lift, not bring me down,
I will wear my golden crown
I longed for love in any way,
But now I love myself today
Not a shadow, not a ghost,
I’m a diamond, I will glow
