[ lyrics ]

Treasures in the darkness
Waiting to be found
Lost in dust and ashes
Jewels for a crown
In the back streets of the city
Lives are bought and sold
Some are only children
But their eyes are old

There are songs that wait for voices
Silent voices wait for songs
There are hearts without a reason to sing
And we trample uncut diamonds
In the streets where love grows cold

Treasures in the darkness
Beauty in disguise
Wondering if they'll ever
Live before they die
But each of them is precious
And every name is known
And each one has an angel
Before the Father's throne

Chorus

Night is falling
And they hide away
Praying for the morning
A better day
Their eyes can shine like diamonds
There are stars inside their tears
A road from hell to heaven
A world beyond the fear

Chorus
