Fire in the Forge

They see the shine,

they don't see the scars They see the lights,

never see the dark

Everybody wants a piece of gold

Nobody wants the fire or the cold

I had nights when the walls closed in Lost my way,

had to start again

Had a thousand reasons I could quit But something in my blood

wouldn't let me slip

Every little crack in my soul Every hard road,

every heavy blow Turned a little pain into something bright Now watch

me come alive tonight

Pressure makes diamonds

Feel that fire inside

I was born in the darkness Now I'm lighting up the night

Pressure makes diamonds

Watch me turn it around You can push me to the limit

But you can't keep me down (ooh-yeah)

I don't need a perfect story

I don't need a golden road

Every little disappointment Put another spark into my soul

Had the world upon my shoulders

Had the weight beneath my skin

But the harder that they pushed me The more I found the

strength within Every little crack in my soul

Every hard road, every heavy blow Turned a little pain into something

bright Now watch me come alive tonight

Pressure makes diamonds

Feel that fire inside

I was born in the darkness Now I'm lighting up the night

Pressure makes diamonds

Watch me turn it around You can push me to the limit

But you can't keep me down (yeah-yeah)

I remember every fall

Every night against the wall

Every time I lost my way Every word I couldn't say

Now the fire's in my veins And I wouldn't change a thing

What was meant to break my spirit Taught my broken heart to

sing

Pressure makes diamonds

Feel that fire inside

I was born in the darkness Now I'm lighting up the night

Pressure makes diamonds

You can push me to the limit But you can't keep me

down
