Hi Friends,

The muse came with this the other day. I was thinking on the foster children organizations like PLAN and others are helping (I personally know Rodolfo from Colombia and Jordi from Equador). But for this, I guess I'll be looking for an opportunity when Bob Geldorf announces another project.. grin

Crits, comments, suggies?

Diamonds Don’t Burn

Hungry and abandoned
Out in the cold African heat
She’s lost everything
All her family and strength
I can’t begin to imagine how it feels
And she’s just a little girl

But diamonds don’t burn
And my heart will never give up
Before she’s been given her share
A little love won’t hurt
I’ll give her the world
And diamonds don’t burn

Her beautiful eyes
Have seen much more than mine
I’ve travelled the world
But never seen inside of her
I don’t know the half
Still, she shines like a sun

Cause diamonds don’t burn
And my heart will never give up
Before she’s been given her share
A little love won’t hurt
I’ll give her the world
And diamonds don’t burn

Why should I care about one in a billion?
What in the world gives me the right to help just one?
But when the earth doesn't care
And the sky is glowing down
How can we understand?
How can life grow?

But diamonds don’t burn
And that my heart will never give up
Before she’s been given her share
A little love won’t hurt
I’ll give her the world
And diamonds don’t burn
