A diamond is made
From pressure and stress
The carbon and heat
Create hardness
From ashes to beauty
Just dirt purified
From hard circumstances
And persistence combined
A diamond withstands
The harshest force
It's cut by itself
From the initial coarse
Nothing can scratch
Nor its perfection mar
And from its hard ordeal
It bears no scar
It is the strongest substance
Won't bend or even give
No heat, impact, or tension
All else it will outlive
Diamonds are an image
They serve as a display
For something that's much harder
And endures through any pain
Diamonds worn around the finger
Bound to a golden ring
Represent the marriage pact
That outstands everything
Love that never, ever fails
Love that keeps its word
Love that lasts throughout the storm
Love that's tested sure
A diamond shines for all to see
It glitters in the light
And the love that's in the heart
Shines in the blackest night.

And endures through any pain
Diamonds worn around the finger
Bound to a golden ring
Represent the marriage pact

Love that never, ever fails
Love that keeps its word
Love that lasts throughout the storm
Love that's tested sure
A diamond shines for all to see
It glitters in the light
And the love that's in the heart
Shines in the blackest night.
