Diamond in My Crown

As each long day rolls by and falls behind me In the lonely night there's a peacefulness I've found Tho' I'm weary even then When I rise to start again Ther'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown I have wasted all that life has laid before me I have watched as all the green fields turn to brown But I shall not disavow All these ties that bind me now Ther'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown Shinning down some day I know Brighter than all their streets of gold When the burdens that I carry I will lay down And the sorrows I have known I'll see them all be overthrown Ther'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown Through the passing of the years I will grow stronger Just as sure as this old world keeps spinning 'round Then the closer I will be To my sweetest victory Ther'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown --- Diamond in My Crown - Emmylou Harris
