Diamonds

Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond

Find light in the beautiful sea
I choose to be happy
You and I, you and I
We're like diamonds in the sky

You're a shooting star I see
A vision of ecstasy
When you hold me, I'm alive
We're like diamonds in the sky

I knew that we'd become one right away
Oh, right away
At first sight I felt the energy of sun rays
I saw the life inside your eyes

So shine bright, tonight, you and I
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Eye to eye, so alive
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky

Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shining bright like a diamond
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky

Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shining bright like a diamond
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky

Palms rise to the universe
As we moonshine and mauling
Feel the warmth, we'll never die
We're like diamonds in the sky

You're a shooting star I see
A vision of ecstasy
When you hold me, I'm alive
We're like diamonds in the sky

At first sight I felt the energy of sun rays
I saw the life inside your eyes
So shine bright, tonight you and I

We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky

Eye to eye, so alive
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky

Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shining bright like a diamond
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky

Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shining bright like a diamond
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky

Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond

So shine bright, tonight you and I
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Eye to eye, so alive
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky

Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond, oh yes
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond

To talk about this song I have to mention that at first it didn't like me because its chorus sounded strange or ugly, but something started to like me about it and then it became one of my favourites. This song related with relationships make me think about time. We as human beings spend so little time in the world, I would like to be eternal, infinite, but it is not possible. There are materials like diamonds that last more than us, humans, and that is unfair for me. We are star powder, I know that the energy is transformed into something else, but it is still unfair. May be I feel this way because I am giving me a second opportunity to succeed, to do something on my own, something that make me feel proud of who I am. But it is just a suposition to believe that is the only thing that will ever make me feel good about myself. It is complicated. I am a woman with a lots of dreams. Now I've been very interested in politics. In fact,  I would like to be the futur president of Argentina, I really like to have that opportunity. Well, that is all for now. Bye.
