In a world of dime store diamonds
We're all looking for a gem
You might even find a blossom
In a field of stones and stems
But deep inside there lies a treasure
Beneath the layers of honest grime
Could you buff this rusted halo
Of this angel out of time
Till it shines
Walking through the streets of Dallas
On a cold dark windy night
I see a beggar on the corner
Barely hanging on to life
But if hope could be his blanket
And if faith could be his wine
He'd be new again tomorrow
And I believe he still has time
Till it shines - till it shines
You love is my compass, come show me the way
With you there's no driving blind
Help me to polish each moment, each dream left behind
Till it shines
In a world of dime store diamonds
You know I found myself a gem
Love's a flower that can blossom
In a field of stone and stems
Deep inside you placed your treasure
Now you can see it in my eyes
Could you buff this rusted halo
Only you would take the time
Till it shines - till in shines
I believe he still has time
This angel out of time
Let it shine
Till it shines like the Sun
Till it shines on everyone
Till it shines diamond bright
With the rays of heaven's light
Let it guide us through the dark
Let it heal this troubled heart
Even when our faith is gone
Help us to hold on - till it shines
