Cover art for Diamonds on the Inside lyrics by Ben Harper

A candle throws its light into the darkness In a nasty world so shines a good deed Make sure the fortune that you seek Is the fortune that you need

i love that part...

i reckon this song is about how some girls pretend to be all tough and bitchy and shit...(like goths) but deep down they are beautifl ppl..."she's got diamonds on the inside"

i dont know...i hope thats what it means...i love that meening!...lol
