We set up a jude of color
For the darker shade
Set us up to never win
Stiffling one another, slamming doors
Pushin' and shovin' each other, oh
[Chorus 1]
Black diamonds and blue pearls
Small bits of sand
Made by the hand that bruised the world
[Chorus 2]
Oh, black diamonds and blue pearls
Molded of clay, taught just to pray
And to be proud of
[Chorus 1]
Yes we are
[Chorus 2]
Black diamonds and blue pearls
[Chorus 1 & 2; Repeats]
For the darker shade
Set us up to never win
Stiffling one another, slamming doors
Pushin' and shovin' each other, oh
[Chorus 1]
Black diamonds and blue pearls
Small bits of sand
Made by the hand that bruised the world
[Chorus 2]
Oh, black diamonds and blue pearls
Molded of clay, taught just to pray
And to be proud of
[Chorus 1]
Yes we are
[Chorus 2]
Black diamonds and blue pearls
[Chorus 1 & 2; Repeats]
