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
 Though I'm weary even then when I rise to start again
 There'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
 There'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown
