When I was young, I was a burning sun
A single man who'd never die
Dead centre of another universe
An empty fantasy inside
Hidden away from hate that never came
Clear that away and mostly love remains
The work to make a diamond out of coal
And if you're game, then I'm forever yours
When I was young I never needed much
Of what I could not comprehend
Now I have learnt that I have only burnt
The bridges built by absent friends
Each little spark is starting up my heart
The sand of selfishness decays
A mountain made from all the best of days
These thoughts can start to fade away
No one can say the best is yet to come
But I'll explain what I have never done
Show me the way, forget about the cost
Let's get away, 'cause I'm forever yours

No one can say the best is yet to come
But I'll explain what I have never done
The work to make a diamond out of coal
And if you're game, when I'm forever yours
I'm sure you've heard this all before
You've heard this all before
And you will again
There's is no end, it's not an easy trick
I guess what's worth it never is
