We set up a jude of color
For the darker shade
Set us up to never win

Stiffling one another, slamming doors
Pushin' and shovin' each other, oh

Black diamonds and blue pearls
Small bits of sand
Made by the hand that bruised the world

Oh, black diamonds and blue pearls
Molded of clay, taught just to pray
And to be proud of

Black diamonds and blue pearls
Small bits of sand
Made by the hand that bruised the world
Yes we are

Oh, black diamonds and blue pearls
Molded of clay, taught just to pray
And to be proud of

Black diamonds and blue pearls

Black diamonds and blue pearls
Small bits of sand
Made by the hand that bruised the world
Yes we are
Oh, black diamonds and blue pearls
Molded of clay, taught just to pray
And to be proud of...
