All the Diamonds
Music and Lyric by Bruce Cockburn

All the diamonds in this world
That mean anything to me
Are conjured up by wind and sunlight
Sparkling on the sea
Ran aground in a harbour town
Lost the taste for being free
Thank God He sent His gull chased ship
To carry me to sea
Two thousand years
And half a world away
Dying trees still
Will grow greener when you pray
Silver scales flash bright and fade
In the reeds along the shore
Like a pearl in a sea of liquid jade
His ship comes shining
Like a crystal swan in a sky of suns
His ship comes shining
