Gem

[Intro]
I heard you say:
(I am a gem)
Are you aware
(How rare?)

[Verse 1]
On the Mohs scale
(Are you pass or fail?)
If you try your best
(At the test)

[Bridge]
Are you hard enough
(Just a little too rough)

[Chorus]
I heard you say:
(I am a gem)
Are you aware
(How rare?)

[Verse 2]
Can you scratch glass
(On a single pass)
Is your brilliance
(Self-evident)

[Bridge]
Are you hard enough
(Just a little too rough)

[Chorus]
I heard you say:
(I am a gem)
Are you aware
(How rare?)

[Outro]
Are you hard enough
(Just a little too rough)
Spit and polish
(For all to relish)
Add a little shine
(And you’ll be just fine)
