[Chorus]
Some nights. I stay up mining for some diamonds
Some nights, I find none at all
And some nights I try my best to build a castle
Most nights those creepers blow it up
But I still stay up, I still see those ghasts
No, I'm still not sure what I mine for, oh
(Oh-ooh-woah) What do I mine for?
(Oh-ooh-woah) What do I mine for?
Most nights, I'm not sure anymore

[Verse 1]
Well, this is it, boys, grab your torch
Don't forget to enchant your swords
Now, how did we get so lost already?
The zombie pigs put up such a fight
Skeletons come on out at night
I try my best to make lots of light
But, here they come again to shoot me down

[Bridge]
That's alright
There's no monsters near my bed tonight
Nobody's gonna steal all of my diamonds
Diamonds, diamonds, mhmm
[Verse 2]
Well, most nights, I wish that the nights would end
'Cause I could use some sun for a change
And most nights I'm scared I'll see the enderman
He'll find out where I sleep and then he'll murder me

[Chorus]
But I still stay up, I still see those ghasts
No, I'm still not sure what I mine for, oh
(Oh-ooh-woah) What do I mine for?
(Oh-ooh-woah) What do I mine for?
Most nights, I'm not sure anymore
