Rough Diamonds

You are you
And I am me
And we could break so easily
When they're kicking us in shape

And we must stand and take
Their taunts and fears and crap complaints
They can't stop us
It's their weakness

You know what's strange?
I'm half and half
I've forgotten how to laugh
At the same time

I feel ten feet tall and six feet wide
I have got a smile inside
They can't stop us
We are rising

We could bend until we break
We could fall to our knees
And take all that we can take
We are stronger than we think
But when they get in your head
It's tantamount to rape

They looked for blame and they found us
Though they cut and they run
They will find they have not won
They won't believe what they have done
When you pull them from the earth
Rough diamonds catch the sun

See the sun and the moon
You're catching them with your eyes
