• People having weddings,
    All run into debt.
    They think it's a simple setting,
    But they haven't found out yet.

    There's people working harder
    From Africa to Bombey.
    To mine these simple diamonds
    That we use in rings today.

    They're not just diamonds we hold.
    People die to get them here.
    So be grateful to those so bold,
    And think of shed blood and tears.

    When you pay for diamonds,
    It costs less than what it's worth.
    Because it's being mined
    By the children of the earth.
