Above the diamonds cooking in the core
The earth didn't drop a flower
Until way after the T-Rex
Nature got more lovely as time went on
And it all led up to you, to you

Catch light like a crown jewel, stand tall like Grace Jones
Knuckles wrapped like fox gloves, put your spikes on like a rose
Just know that you were born out of a song
The earth's been working up to you since the beginning of time

It takes at least one billion years for a diamond to form
Way less time than it took the world to forge your soul
All your ancestors like carbon compressed
Into a perfect gem

Catch light like a crown jewel, stretch up like Dubai
Put the ruffle on like a daffodil in the late spring light
Just know that you were born out of a song
The earth's been working up to you since the beginning of time
Catch light like a crown jewel, stand tall like Grace Jones
Knuckles wrapped like fox gloves, put your spikes on like a rose
Just know that you were born out of a song
The earth's been working up to you since the beginning

Catch light like a crown jewel, you'll be tall like Dubai
Put the ruffle on like a daffodil in the late spring light
Just know that you were born out of a song
The earth's been working up to you since the beginning of time
