[Verse 1]
All the diamonds in this world
That mean anything to me
Are conjured up by wind and sunlight
Sparkling like the sea

[Verse 2]
Ran aground in a harbour town
Lost the taste for being free
Thank God He sent His gull-chased ship
To carry me to sea

[Bridge]
Two thousand years and half a world away
Dying trees still will grow greener when you pray

[Verse 3]
Silver scales shine bright and fair
In the reeds along the shore
Like a pearl in a sea of liquid jade
His ship comes shining
Like a crystal swan in a sky of suns
His ship comes shining
