Raining Diamonds
Raining Diamonds finds us gazing up at a starry night sky, balanced at the tipping point of infinite possibilities. The song explores the doubt and ambiguity of dreaming big, unsure of whether true happiness lies within us or somewhere out there. It takes its title from the phenomenon in space where, under extreme pressure, soot is transformed into falling diamonds.

Reaching out for the universe
When all of space is inside of me
A billion stars are the prickles of dreams
Sparks in my heart Waiting to ignite
There’s infinity
Inside of me
The void for
The space for
My own constellation
There’s infinity
Inside of me
The pattern
My Saturn
It’s raining diamonds
It’s raining diamonds
Liquid moonlight runs through my veins
It shimmers And it burns with molten hope
A trillion wishes for more than this
The sky is heavy But my head feels so light
There’s infinity
Inside of me
The void for
The space for
My own constellation
There’s infinity
Inside of me
The pattern
My Saturn
It’s raining diamonds
It’s raining diamonds
(A giant leap for one single man)
Is there anybody out there?
(A giant leap for one single man)
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there?
It’s raining diamonds
There’s infinity
Inside of me
The void for
The space for
My own constellation
There’s infinity
Inside of me
The pattern
My Saturn
It’s raining diamonds
It’s raining diamonds
Reaching out for the universe
When all of space is inside of me
