[Verse 1]
When you're running on empty
And the road has no end
When you're caught at the border
And no man is your friend
When you reach out for comfort
And there's nothing but despair

[Chorus]
There'll be diamonds on the water
And music in the air
There'll be diamonds on the water
Music in the air

[Verse 2]
When the fruits of your labour
Sink without a trace
And the hope of the morning
Blows right back in your face
When the pressure is killing
And it's more than you can bear

[Chorus]
There'll bе diamonds on the water
And music in the air
Thеre'll be diamonds on the water
Music in the air
[Post-Chorus]
Diamonds on the water
Diamonds on the water

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
When you find no justice
In a world of hurt
For the poor and defenceless
Trampled in dirt
There is fire on the mountain
Let the mighty beware

[Chorus]
There are diamonds on the water
Music in the air
Diamonds on the water
Music in the air

[Post-Chorus]
Diamonds on the water
Diamonds on the water
Diamonds on the water
Diamonds on the water
