Made for Nur Ein XVI

lyrics

I found a diamond in the rough
And I polished it until the dawn
But as I worked it shrank and shrank
Until the gem I found was gone
I turned it over and over again
I turned it over and over
Until there was nothing left

I came across a vein of gold
And it glittered in my sight
But as I dug it disappeared
And I could only find pyrite
I dug deeper and deeper and deeper until it was spent
It was going and going and going and then it went

So I ask myself
What I'm making may not be silver and gold
Am I taking the time to polish precious stones?

I read a letter from my past
That was sent from a different life
Before I knew what I had planned
Would never come to light
And I cried and I cried and I cried and I cried until I was dry
Now I'm asking and asking and asking and asking why

I never told myself that
What I'm making may not be silver and gold
Am I taking the time to polish precious stones?
What I'm making may not be silver and gold
Am I taking the time to polish precious stones?

I turned it over and over and over and over again
I turned it over and over and over and over until there's nothing left.

I turned it over and over and over and over and over and
Over and over and over and over and over and over again
