Diamond In The Rough Lyrics - Lay It Down - Jennifer Knapp

As a little girl I came down to the water 

With a little stone in my hand 

And it would shimmer and sing 

And I knew everything 

In a little while I got steeped in authority 

Heaven only knows what when wrong when there is 

Nothing so cruel than to bury that jewel 

When it was mine all along and I'm gonna find it 

You're shining, I can see you 

You're smiling, that's enough well 

I'm holding onto you like a diamond in the rough 

Like a diamond in the rough 

Every now and then I can see that I am getting somewhere 

Where I have to go is so deep 

I was angry back then and you know I still am 

I have lost too much sleep and I'm gonna find it 

You're shining, I can see you 

You're smiling, that's enough well 

I'm holding onto you like a diamond in the rough 

Like a diamond in the rough 

Snake's in the grass, better step on the gas 

In my dreams I go down by the water 

With a little girl in my arms and we shimmer 

And sing and we know everything 

As a little girl I came down 

You're shining, I can see you 

You're smiling, that's enough well 

I'm holding onto you like a diamond in the rough 

Like a diamond in the rough
