I was like a diamond,
In the bottom of the sea,
But I didn't sparkle,
Until you came to me.
Now, I feel so polished,
Your sunshine is my light,
Arrayed in a certain glory,
While your arms hold me tight.

I was like a tiny seed,
Still beneath the ground,
Saw no beauty of my own,
Until you came around.
You watered me with tender
Tears...
Into the kind of flower,
That thrives on your love's
Glow.

I was a bundle of emotions,
Locked away inside...
My only commitment,
Forever...was to hide.
Then, like a touch of magic,
Your spirit touched my own,
Creating such a special love,
Like none I've ever known.

I was like a simple song,
Without a melody...
Had never touched a heart,
Until you set me free.
You made me into music,
Taught me how to feel,
Now, I sing to all the world,
And, know that I am "real."
