You keep your treasures hidden
Down in the darkness, far below
With the weight of a mountain borne upon you
So far from the sunlight, all alone

You put up rock-hard walls around you
Think that your heart has turned to stone
Won't let anyone in there, no one can have you
But I think you're worth it, down I go

I AM THE MINER
DIGGING DEEP INTO YOUR SOUL
SMASHING THE BARRIERS AROUND YOU
'CAUSE I KNOW THERE MUST BE GOLD

I'll keep on working until you cave in
Thunder and lightning, ice and snow
Nothing can stop me getting closer
Even when friends say "Time to go"
'Cause where they see fool's gold, I see diamonds
Can't be far from the motherlode

I AM THE MINER
DIGGING DEEP INTO YOUR SOUL
SMASHING THE BARRIERS AROUND YOU
'CAUSE I KNOW THERE MUST BE GOLD
