A Diamond in the Rough
Belinda Richmond 1979 (Chicago)
Your a Diamond in the Rough
You have great Talents but yet
Your Tough.
Your in need of guidance and
Need of Direction
Your in need of Nurturing and
A need of Education
You need to be molded
For you've come very far
Get whipped into a Shape
Into the Diamond that you Are
It may take some time
And it may take some patience
It'll take some Persistence
And a lot of Endurance
It won't be Easy but let's give it a try
And before Long you can be that Diamond on the Sky
I will not give up on you because
It's going to get tough
I'll will keep being Consistent
Because your a Diamond in the Rough!!
