Soul Mining Lyrics

When the twilight fades away
Stars light up a secret place
Here in the silence of the night
A river of hope runs through my mind

There’s a clock up the hall, that’s got perfect timing
A tree of youth, let your children go climbing

We are soul mining
Digging for diamonds in the dirt
Precious beauty of this earth
We are soul mining

Sometimes we don’t understand
All the hurt that this world brings
But in the arms of your sweet embrace
All the fears just fade away

There’s a song of hope and every word is rhyming
A tree of youth, let your children go climbing

We are soul mining
Digging for diamonds in the dirt
Precious beauty of this earth
We are soul mining

There’s a clock up the hall, that’s got perfect timing
A tree of youth, let your children go climbing

We are soul mining
Digging for diamonds in the dirt
Precious beauty of this earth
We are soul mining
Digging for diamonds in the dirt
Precious beauty of this earth
We are soul mining

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
