Do you know your wealth
More than diamonds hiding on a shelf
Do you know who you are
God has made you a shining star
I've got a little friend
Her age is four plus ten
She calls me on the phone
Crying, crying every now and then
And she says my mamma was just won't listen
My daddy still is missing
I don't feel I am nothing of value or worth
And I say baby girl get a hold of yourself
Baby girl don't you know your wealth
You're a diamond hiding on a shelf
Baby girl, baby girl
Baby girl don't you know who you are
God has made you a shining star
A little light is brighter than the dark
Baby girl, baby girl
I call my sister friend
I'm crying, crying and whining again
She let's me vent my heart
Before the healing starts
And I say my children just won't listen
My paycheck still is missing
And every little thing is working my nerve
And she says baby girl get a hold of yourself
Baby girl don't you know your wealth
You're a diamond hiding on a shelf
Baby girl, baby girl
Baby girl don't you know who you are
God has made you a shining star
A little light is brighter than the dark
Baby girl, baby girl
Hold on and I'll be right back
A little bit light is brighter than the dark now
Baby girl get a hold of yourself
Baby girl don't you know your wealth
You're a diamond hiding on a shelf
Baby girl, baby baby girl
Baby girl don't you know who you are
God has made you a shining star
A little light is brighter than the dark
Baby girl, baby girl, baby girl
Baby girl, baby girl
You like the diamond hiding on a shelf
Baby, baby
Baby
Baby you know who you are
Baby you a shining star
Baby
A little bit light is brighter than the dark now
