The Daily Boost #525

Glow up!

.

A great reminder of how troubles can help make us shine . . .

'Cause diamonds don't shine
'Til they been buried alive, oh
But I've been in the rough for long enough
Tonight I'm glowing up
And diamonds can't sparkle
'Til they find light they can follow
The pressure gets tough for just long enough
Tonight I'm glowing up, glowing up
Glowing up . . .

(My thanks to Cynthia Erivo, via Lyrics Action.)
