One Diamond Shines

People change around us as we coast through time
Some become obscure while some emerge divine
Some have many followers they keep beguiled
They flourish in the culture they themselves define

History determines just who will survive
Sometimes even legends see their fame decline
But the fallen are assured to one day rise on high
Success is guaranteed with premature demise

The bottle rid us of the pearl and the swine
John was cut down by the catcher in the rye
Billy Graham and Stevie fell out of the sky
And Morrison cried, "No one here gets out alive"

Some say you can't be resurrected 'till you die
But if you look up to the black holes in the sky
There's a glimmer hidden off in lost and soulfull eyes
Where one diamond shines.
