MY MERCH THAT SUPPORTS ST JUDE
WHY DIAMONDS?
I am a big fan of the band JOHNNYSWIM and I was taken aback when my Spotify navigated me to their commentary about their song “DIAMONDS”. Before when I listened to it, I just thought it was good little ditty, but they spoke about a time that they played it for the first time in public. It happened to be at St Jude. The song was supposed to be a big F YOU to all those who told them they couldn’t succeed. But it took on another meaning playing it for those parents and children fighting for their lives against an unseen foe, the crappiest villain, CANCER.
NOW, when I listen I hold back tears. Grateful for my family, their health, my life and all my blessings.

DIAMONDS - By JOHNNYSWIM
In the wake of every heartache
In the depth of every fear
There were diamonds, diamonds
Waiting to break out of here
Don't you think I hear the whispers
Those subtle lies, those angry pleas
They're just demons, demons
Wishing they were free like me
[Chorus]
We're the fire, from the sun
We're the light when the day is done
We are the brave, the chosen ones
We're the diamonds, diamonds
Rising up out the dust
(Oh) Rising up out the dust
(Oh) Rising up out the dust
(Oh) Rising up out the dust
[Verse 2]
All your curses will surrender
Every damning word will kneel
They're just mountains, mountains
About to turn into fields
[Chorus]
We're the fire, from the sun
We're the light when the day is done
We are the brave, we're the chosen ones
We're the diamonds, diamonds
Rising up out the dust
(Oh) Rising up out the dust
(Oh) Rising out the dust
(Oh) Rising out the dust
(Oh) Rising, rising, rising, rising
[Bridge]
You've taken down so many others
Oh, but you'll know my name when you see
And in these ashes I'm stronger still
You'll learn to fear my pain, yeah you will
You've taken down so many others
Oh, but you'll know my name when you see
In these ashes I'm stronger still
You'll learn to fear my pain, yeah you will
You'll learn to fear my pain, yeah you will
Yeah you will, yeah you will
[Chorus]
We're the fire, from the sun
We're the light when the day is done
We are the brave, we are the chosen ones
We're the diamonds, diamonds
We're the diamonds, diamonds
We're the diamonds, diamonds
We're the diamonds, diamonds
Rising up out the dust
(Oh) Rising out the dust
(Oh) Rising out the dust
(Oh) Rising out the dust
[Outro]
(Oh) Rising up out the dust
(Oh) Rising up out the dust
(Oh) Rising, rising, rising
(Oh)
