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 your 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 of time

Catch light like a crown jewel
Stretch up like Dubai
Put your 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
