If I could talk to God, sit down a spell at his kitchen table I'd ask him 'bout Heaven and Hell, good and evil And why do bad things seem to fall on good people? Would He look me in the eye? Tell me it's all in the way that you see it Right now I know that it's hard to believe it But pain has a purpose, a rhyme and a reason No pressure, no diamonds No patience, no pearls Without rain, there's no roses The weight of the world is so hard to keep holdin' But just give it time, 'cause no pressure, no diamonds One day we're all gonna shine I can't help but think Why can't it be easy, this life that we're livin' If I could just stand in His shoes for a minute I'd save all the sweet and leave all the bitter And if I could, you know I would Fill up your heart when it's battered and broken Stop a car crash and cancer from growin' But I'm just flesh and bone, all that I know is No pressure, no diamonds No patience, no pearls Without rain, there's no roses The weight of the world is so hard to keep holdin' But just give it time, 'cause no pressure, no diamonds One day we're all gonna shine Yeah, we're all gonna shine It's all in God's time No pressure, no diamonds No patience, no pearls Without rain, there's no roses The weight of the world is so hard to keep holdin' But just give it time, 'cause no pressure, no diamonds One day we're all gonna shine It's all in God's time No pressure, no diamonds One day we're all gonna shine
