The journey of both coals and diamonds is different,
Yet sometimes, coal outshines diamond.
Diamonds take millions of years to become what they are—
Still, sometimes, they're not considered good enough.
Their value often depends on their flaws.
But does anyone ever speak of the pain?

Coals here get everything they desire.
Coals here are placed on crowns.
What about the diamond that made itself nearly perfect—
Yet still faces betrayal from the world?

It isn’t really about diamonds, anyway.
It’s all about what I feel every day.
