O barren lady can't you see Your spring is coming, time to sing Cast off the ache of pain, the reproach and the shame Let your past be your past You think you'll never see the sun You're learning how to limp not run You've got to learn to live Don't forget who you are You will live to go far Chorus: Lift your eyes, lift your eyes There's a garden of spring You can dance, you can sing There'll be spring! Wipe away all your tears And let goodness take your hand Come on dance, come on sing There'll be spring! What if you never reach your dreams Why hold on to a hope so far It's more the journey that gives life to your dreams It takes belief, just believe Springtime is coming Flowers are blooming in the cool breeze Pink, lavender and yellow Spring is a lover's kiss on his lover's cheek It’s my favourite season

S-M-I-L-E Oh you make the corners of my mouth defy gravity S-M-I-L-E This is how I'll say thank you for inspiring me You're my guide and my pillar My listening ear, my everything You have never failed to encourage me and brighten up my day Your care, concern and laughter make me S-M-I-L-E If you only knew how much you mean to me S-M-I-L-E Oh you make the corners of my mouth defy gravity S-M-I-L-E This is how I'll say thank you for inspiring me I wanna thank you for being my guardian angel Never forsaking, always forgiving and never giving up on me Gratitude is remembering all the things that you have done for me I wanna keep you in my mind forevermore S-M-I-L-E Oh you make the corners of my mouth defy gravity S-M-I-L-E This is how I'll say thank you for inspiring me Thank you for being so outstanding In all that you do Thank you for persevering When no one sees what you do You've got a heart of gold And in case you didn't know It's necessary that I spell it for you S-M-I-L-E Oh you make the corners of my mouth defy gravity S-M-I-L-E This is how I'll say thank you for inspiring me

Love Is 04:43
Life is much harder than we think Emptiness, feeling lost Just some reasons to give up But through all my tears and sleepless nights, you have shown me that love makes me strong Love is when you are always there for me Riding through the storms and the seas Love is giving me your time and your all Catching me whenever I fall Yes I hope our love will never die Love is standing strong come rain or shine We’ve all had mistakes and regrets All the scars, memories that we try to forget I can never turn back time for us, but I hope that love will see us through Love is when you are always there for me Riding through the storms and the seas Love is giving me your time and your all Catching me whenever I fall Love is when you are always there for me Riding through the storms and the seas Love is giving me your time and your all Catching me whenever I fall Yes I hope our love will never die Love is standing strong come rain or shine

Ride On 04:54
She was a regular girl next door Chasing seconds that ticked on the wall Building sandcastles of dreams One day, she had a sudden knock on her door The stranger came and started a war Drowning sandcastles within All her crowns of yesterday Broke and flew away As the dawn broke and senses woke These words sang in her head Life is like a giant playground, It’s a climb up or a ride down the slide Your wind give me wings to fly and ride Enter pain, he crept by to visit her fall Stripped her pride and dug up a knoll Of loneliness and heartache Then came hope, he came by and planted a trace In her mind and birthed daily grace Even when she couldn’t see All her crowns of yesterday Broke and flew away As the dawn broke and senses woke These words sang in her head Life is like a giant playground It’s a climb up or a ride down the slide Your wind gives me wings to fly The bully’s gone now, he was chased out by a bigger and stronger Hero who picked me up from the dusty sand It’s no myth that we can stand after the fall and ride on Standing at the edge of unknown Looking for a light Waiting for a sign from above To cross over and take flight Life is like a giant playground It’s a climb up or a ride down the slide Your wind gives me wings to fly The bully’s gone now, he was chased out by a bigger and stronger Hero who picked me up from the dusty sand It’s no myth that we can stand after the fall and ride on

I am looking at my future From the ending point I see Trees have blossomed, there are grapes on the vine And the fields have come alive Everything that once was barren, all restored and now abundant From the ending point I see A beautiful, beautiful, beautiful sight Look and see, look and see at the birds in the air None of them will fall outside Your care I believe, I believe I am worth much more That You only have good things in store I'll be brave, I'll be brave when the darkness surrounds Yes I know that a new day will come I am never alone, one day I'll see That all will be beautiful Many times, my future seems to take Such a long time to come And my hope fades, oh my heart aches Tomorrow when will you, when will you come? Tomorrow when will you, when will you come? I, I will wait patiently It won't be delayed, it won't be delayed I, I will wait hopefully It'll surely take place, it'll surely take place A new day awaits, a new day awaits Yeah my future awakes So I won't give up on hope I won't give up Everything that once was barren, all restored and now abundant From the ending point I see A beautiful, beautiful, beautiful sight

about

Diamonds on the Street turns wounded histories into stories of hope.

We collaborate with individuals and communities in need of hope by co-creating music, stories and drama so that they are healed and empowered to be a voice of hope to others.

We shine a spotlight on the intangible things that matter such as love, loss, joy, sorrow, brokenness and hope.

Through life’s adversities, we come face-to-face with our weaknesses and in the process, we find strength to overcome our challenges. It’s the way diamonds are made – put into high-temperature, high-pressure conditions just before the carbon starts to shine.

That’s the story all of us have. Born from ashes and refined by fire, we live to shine a light.

“As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.” – Nelson Mandela
