Up I Go

Verse 1

Dug down past the bedrock line

Torchlight flickers on the wall

Forty nights of cobble and coal

I almost gave up on it all

Then a blue glint in the stone

Every swing was worth the ache

Pre-Chorus

Pickaxe ringing like a bell

Diamonds under all this weight

Chorus

I found diamonds in the deep

I found diamonds in the deep

Now I'm climbing toward the light

Where you're waiting up for me

I found diamonds in the deep

I found diamonds in the deep

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, up I go

Oh-oh, up I go

Verse 2

Ladder after ladder rising

Gravel crumbling at my feet

Every rung a little closer

To the sun and to the street

I can hear the cows above me

Smell the grass and feel the breeze

Pre-Chorus

Sky is opening like a door

I've been buried way too long

Chorus

I found diamonds in the deep

I found diamonds in the deep

Now I'm climbing toward the light

Where you're waiting up for me

I found diamonds in the deep

I found diamonds in the deep

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, up I go

Oh-oh, up I go

Bridge

Doesn't matter what I carry

Doesn't matter what I mined

You were standing at the doorway

Arms already open wide

Arms already open wide

Chorus

I found diamonds in the deep

I found diamonds in the deep

Now I'm running through the wheat

Where you're waiting up for me

I found diamonds in the deep

I found diamonds in the deep

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, up I go

Oh-oh, home I go
