Hmm an old man on his deathbed once said to me
You are the master of your destiny
A diamond is a diamond and a stone is a stone
But a man´s not all good nor all bad
When the chips´re all down and your back´s at the wall

You´re the best friend that you´ve ever had
You´re the best friend that you´ve ever had
So you laugh when it´s time to laugh and you cry when it´s time to cry
Live while it´s time to live cause you´ll die when it´s time to die hmm
Then he closed his eyes and he left me alone
This old man´s wisdom brought his meaning home
A diamond is a diamond...
Well now that I´m older I found this is true
The thing that remains is the good that you do
A diamond is a diamond and a stone is a stone
But a man´s not all good nor all bad
When the chips are all down and your back´s at the wall
God is the best friend that you´ve ever had
God is the best friend that you´ve ever had
So you laugh when it´s time...
