Nothing Less Than Brilliant

There's nothing crueler than

a cheap joke at your expense

it just doesn't make any sense

not at all

you may be wrecked and torn

your face is hangered and drawn

but what you feel inside

is a diamond that's on fire

and you stumble and fall in the dark

they kick you aside like a worthless stone

but I know just how rare you are

and you're nothing less than brilliant in my eyes

how you sparkle, how you glow

There's nothing hungrier than

a dream trying to come true

it eats right into you

to your soul

you may be tattered and torn

you may be shattered and worn out

but what you feel inside

is a ruby that's on fire

and you stumble and fall in the dark

they kick you aside like a worthless stone but

I know how precious you are

and you're nothing less than brilliant in my eyes

how you sparkle, how you glow
