Tom was a crane operator
He used to sing up in the sky
And his voice was magical

Marvin Gaye would have been jealous
Yeah, he was meant to be a star
But the stage fright was too strong, yeah

Wouldn't you regret it
If you'd died without trying
Nobody will know
If the Sun comes up tomorrow

A diamond in the rough
Much more than meets the eye
Go baby go, go baby go
Tell the world
A diamond in the rough
You gonna reach the sky
Go baby go, go baby go
Tell the world, hmm

Miss Amy Lee was a weird girl
Collecting cans from the street
Making sculptures out of trash, yep

She kept her pieces in the attic
And didn’t dare to try to sell
But she would get
A million bucks, that’s right

Wouldn't you regret it
If you'd died without trying
Nobody will know
If the Sun comes up tomorrow, no

A diamond in the rough
Much more than meets the eye
Go baby go, go baby go
Tell the world
A diamond in the rough
You gonna reach the sky
Go baby go, go baby go
Tell the world

There's so much beauty in this world
That is waiting to be found
It's a well-kept secret
Until you go
Until you go
Tell the world

A diamond in the rough
Much more than meets the eye
Go baby go, go baby go
Tell the world
A diamond in the rough
You gonna reach the sky
Go baby go, go baby go
Tell the world, hmm
