Pressure Makes Diamonds

Songtekst van Danny Vera - "Pressure Makes Diamonds"

[Verse 1]
Pressure makes diamonds, not silver or gold
It breaks to pieces the hardest of stone
And it shines brighter than the stars that you know
Pressure makes diamonds and hard work pays off
Pressure makes diamonds, no giant can hold
He thought he could carry this world on his own
But even the strongest can't do it alone
Pressure makes diamonds and hard work pays off

[Chorus]
You have to sharpen the edges, smoothen the surface
It'll take you some time 'cause it's rough and it's tough
Then you will find what you're looking for
They'll appear like a falling star
Shake off the dirt and let it shine

[Verse 2]
Pressure makes diamonds, a long heavy road
First the weight on your shoulders, it's crushing your bones
And then it gets darker than the blackest of coal
Then pressure makes diamonds, 'cause hard work pays off

[Chorus]
You have to sharpen the edges, smoothen the surface
It'll take you some time 'cause it's rough and it's tough
Then you will find what you're looking for
They'll appear like a falling star
Shake off the dirt and let it shine

[Outro]
Pressure makes diamonds, not silver or gold
It breaks to pieces the hardest of stone
And it shines brighter than the stars that you know
Pressure makes diamonds and hard work pays off
Pressure makes diamonds and hard work pays off
