I HAVE HEARD A THOUSAND TIMES
THAT MY BEST IS JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH
AND I START TO RECITE THOSE LIES
‘TIL I FEEL I’M UNWORTHY OF LOVE

A VOICE INSIDE RESISTED WHAT I THOUGHT WAS TRUE
A WHISPER GROWING LOUDER EVERY NIGHT
FINALLY NOT AFRAID OF FINDING SOMETHING NEW
BELIEVING I DESERVE TO FEEL ALIVE

ALL THE PAIN AND TAKING CHANCES
BEAUTY RISING FROM THE ASHES.
SOMETHING IN THE STRUGGLE MADE ME STRONG
TOOK A BREATH, AND KEPT ON SHINING
IT TAKES PRESSURE TO MAKE DIAMONDS
IT WAS THERE INSIDE ME ALL ALONG
ALL THE TRIALS, FAILURES, AND TEARS;
THEY WERE ALL FOR ME.

NOW I AM NOT AFRAID TO FAIL
KNOWING IT MIGHT HOLD A LESSON FOR ME
THROUGH THE TORMENT AND THE STRIFE I'LL PREVAIL
I'LL CLAIM THE PERSON I WAS MEANT TO BE

FINALLY LETTING GO OF THIS INTERNAL FIGHT
BELIEVING I DESERVE THE BEST IN LIFE

ALL THE PAIN AND TAKING CHANCES
BEAUTY RISING FROM THE ASHES.
SOMETHING IN THE STRUGGLE MADE ME STRONG
TOOK A BREATH, AND KEPT ON SHINING
IT TAKES PRESSURE TO MAKE DIAMONDS
IT WAS THERE INSIDE ME ALL ALONG
ALL THE TRIALS, FAILURES, AND TEARS;
THEY WERE ALL FOR ME.

EVERY VESSEL THAT IS MADE OF CLAY
HAD TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE FIRE
A CATERPILLAR HIDES ITSELF AWAY
AND EMERGES AS A BUTTERFLY

ALL THE PAIN AND TAKING CHANCES
BEAUTY RISING FROM THE ASHES.
SOMETHING IN THE STRUGGLE MADE ME STRONG
TOOK A BREATH, AND KEPT ON SHINING
IT TAKES PRESSURE TO MAKE DIAMONDS
IT WAS THERE INSIDE ME ALL ALONG
ALL THE TRIALS, FAILURES, AND TEARS;
THEY WERE ALL FOR ME.
