Diamond


Dream on little diamond, light shines better in the darkness, 
So dream on little diamond, dream on and sparkle.
See all the clearer your dreams clear as crystal, 
Little diamond be happy, be happy and whistle,
Oh, you flower among thistles, 
Bend in the wind, don't stand to be brittle.
Don't stand to be little, make your little voice heard,
And don't stand to settle for anything less than
bright-white beam-dream bottle-neck-blues and ice-cream 
teacup-sweet fresh-air green-bean naked footfall.
Dream on little diamond.

Teen-queen dreams of lean sheen, 
Warm furs and long cotton socks and long cotton stockings,
Belonging and belongings and obscene scenes for shocking, 
Locking mean dreams behind close doors, 
And clawing and clamouring for the real cream, 
the bona fide creme of the crop dream.
Why expect anything less, when searching without rest,
For what it is that you want, what it is you want found, 
What it is you find best, what it is you will grip when all else has digressed, 
So when lying in bed, you can sleep without stress as you live to express what, 
You have to confess, is your pleasure and pest of a calling - 
the calling of the voice inside your head that you try to impress.
Dream on little diamond.

Your glint is flint upon tinder, it helps and doesn't hinder,
When lost in the dark. Your spark is inspiring, 
Desiring attention, always worthy of a mention.
A red-hot-dot fire-shot invention with a bite like a shark
To match that bark of your full-vol Venus and Mars ascension.
Dream on little diamond.

I hear those dreams scream through the lines in your brow, 
Out from the synapses and pulses into the pine-horizon
And up to the starry studded plough, 
Making holes in the clouds, 
Your thoughts written down or spoken out loud
Are willed into fruition,
And I do not know how.
How you wrestle the white rabbit that inhabits your brain, 
How you tame the beast-tyrant that abides in your cranium, 
In control of the polecat that shreds your electronic insides.
(Dream on little diamond.)

The polyphonic pentatonic phantom-blizzard lizard-wizard 
That rides around your mind, 
I have seen you draw it out.
I have seen you try to hide it, and when it's not about
I its cold white-lightning in your eyes.
It never dies, i know not why. 
 When you smile I see it rise.
When you cry i see it cry.
So dream on little diamond.

You've so much to give, so much to find out
And so much to live for and live through
and live with and live up to,
Though there's much to avoid, 
much to interrupt and corrupt you.
But always aspire to go higher.
The flames of your fires will lay waste without haste
for the dreams you desire, for the dreams that you chase.
And by the grace you've been granted, 
The seeds that are planted within you will bloom, 
They'll boom and balloon into whatever you want them to, 
So dream on little diamond.

The fun has only just begun so let your sleek fast riverboat run.
Let the emperor thumb a gladiatorial victory
That will go down in history as you start the mystery tour
Of a lifetime in awe of your own self-potential.
Always want more but never alter who you are
Or the skin you were born in.
Know that blood is thicker than water, and that
You'll conquer the world with just a pestle and mortar.
And remember i'm proud.
And always remember to dream on little diamond.
Dream on little diamond girl.
Dream on and be happy my diamond daughter.
