[intro] … Where you see a rock… I see a diamond… And where you see a diamond… … [verse 1] They priced the stones… I watched the hands… The smallest cuts… The patient plans… They praised the glass… I traced your flame… They read the label… I read the grain… They saw the polish… I felt your pressure… The measured turn… The hidden error… They loved the object… Already made… I watched the maker… Refuse the shape… [pre-chorus] You counted endings… I counted starts… You fell in love… With finished parts… [chorus] They praised the shine… I read your design… They saw the answer… I pulled it through time… They found it after… It became… I knew its worth… Before its name… I read behind… The hidden lines… And saw the beauty… That lived inside… [beat] Refined. [verse 2] The room so quiet… I learned its pulse… The empty hours… Became my tools… I counted movement… Inside the still… I felt the pressure… Before the will… They called it boredom… I called it sight… I watched the smallest… Corrections ignite… They saw the final shape… I rewound the design… Until each particle… Revealed its place… [pre-chorus] They counted endings… I counted starts… They fell in love… With finished parts… [chorus] They praised the shine… I unearthed your design… They saw the answer… I pulled it through time… They found you after… you became… I knew your worth… Before your name… I reached beyond… The hidden lines… And felt the form… That lived inside… [beat] Refined. [bridge] Nobody noticed… The first cut… Nobody celebrates… The first mistake… Every masterpiece… Was ordinary… Until someone… Stayed. … Where they see a diamond… I see a greater horizon… They stop where beauty settles… I follow what is rising… [final chorus] They praised the shine… I read your design… They saw the answer… I pulled it through time… They found you after… You became… I knew your worth… Before your name… They called you rough… Around the edges… I knew what pressure made… I see the marks it sketches… They measured where you go… I traced where you could climb… They waited for your glow… Then built you a shrine… They noticed your bright… I knew the dark behind… I knew the light… That made you shine… [brief silence] Refined. [final reprise] They named the jewel… Once you could shine… I knew the stone… Before the mine… They stop at the end… I redraw the line… And felt the wonder… Of your design… … Where they see a rock… I see a diamond… Where they see a diamond… I see your endless horizon… … [outro] …
