[Intro]
Oh, I can see it
Stars are lining up
So get ready, get ready, yeah
Ready to light up
[Verse 1]
I know this isn't how you planned it
I know you don't always understand it
I know it's been a hard year
Yeah, it's been a hard year for me too
Feeling like you can't go on
Feeling like the night is so long
You know that I'm right here
And I hear what you're going through
[Refrain]
Will we ever
Make it to the other side
Will we ever
Get out of here alive?
[Chorus]
Oh, I can see it
Stars are lining up
Oh, I can feel it
A changing in our luck
Baby, we're diamonds
We're diamonds in the rough
So get ready, get ready, yeah
Ready to light up
Ready to light up
[Verse 2]
Sometimes a day is all it takes
To let the dirt wash away now
It's time we let it last
No more digging through the past
[Refrain]
'Cause we're gonna
Make it to the other side
Yeah, we're gonna
Get outta here alive
[Chorus]
Oh, I can see it
Stars are lining up
Oh, I can feel it
A changing in our luck
Baby, we're diamonds
We're diamonds in the rough
So get ready, get ready, yeah
Ready to light up
Ready to light up
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
[Bridge]
We're always running (running)
We'll never look back again
We're always running (running)
We'll never look back again
We're always running (running)
[Chorus]
Oh, I can see it
Stars are lining up
So get ready, get ready, yeah
Ready to light up
Ready to light up
Ready to light up
Diamonds in the rough
So get ready, get ready, yeah
Ready to light up
