Lyrics:
GEM
She may look to you like a supermodel from a magazine
with her velvet eyes of blue.
She may say to you all the lies you want to hear
early in the morning and sometimes late into the afternoon.
You can describe to her the life you had with me
and how I'll never ever hold a candle to her.
But you'll be missing something when you say my name in vain,
you may not know it yet, but I know one day you will.
(Chorus)
'Cause I'm a gem
that's what I am
and I'm standing on top of a mountain of pearls
I'm a gem that's what I am
though I may not look like your supermodel girls
Somewhere there is a chariot and it's heading straight for me
and it may be coming from some far, far off place.
There'll be a man on the chariot, he'll hold out his hand,
say he wants me and that he loves me,
that I'm the only one he'll ever take.
He'll love me for who I am.
He'll care about what I say.
He'll care about all the things I do
and all the dreams that I have each day.
But more than that he'll know that I won't fade away.
He'll see right through. He'll know exactly what I am.
(chorus)
Someday your beauty queen, her make-up is gonna run thin
and she may not feel like following you when you go to the gym.
And her low cut shirt and her high cut skirt is not gonna look as good
as it did some time ago.
And you will find yourself longing for someone else..
maybe someone who lives, someone who gives..
maybe someone who'll even speak their mind.
Right then and there you'll know the light of your ways.
You'll see right through. You'll know exactly what I am.
(chorus)
