you can take it all away
you can take away my day
you can trample on my pride
you can make me run and hide
you can penetrate my heart
you can break it all apart
you can stop the summer breeze
you can bring me to my knees
but you can’t make me cry forever
there’s a diamond in each piece of coal
you can’t make me cry forever
you can’t take the light from my soul
you can smash it on the door
you can press it on the floor
you can terrorise and tease me
you can try to crush and squeeze me
you can silence all my voices
you can take away my choices
you can make me sing your tune
you can steal the sun and moon
but you can’t make me cry forever
there’s a diamond in each piece of coal
you can’t make me cry forever
you can’t take the light from my soul
