Why did you give up?
One inch from the diamond
In the caves of darkness and joyless work
Through all the soot and tears you’ve been through
Why did you give up?
Just one inch away…
Just one more hit away…
Did you think that things won’t go your way?
Did you think your instinct was only play?
Did you think that it was fruitless before you sowed the seed?
So you gave up and didn’t proceed
To get the diamond freed
So your life abundant be
So you can stand proud because you succeed
In never giving up life’s game
So life will always be the same
Because you gave up
That’s insane…
