Lalalalala...
An old man on his death bed whispered to me "you are the master of your destiny" 
A diamond is a diamond a stone a stone but a man's not all good nor all bad 
Call them as you see them you'll stand alone 
You're the best friend that you ever had oh yeah 
you're the best friend that you ever had 

So laugh when it's time to laugh, cry when it's time to cry, live while it's time to live 
you'll die when it's time to die 
Lalalalala...

Then he closed his eyes and left me alone, my old friend's death brought his wisdom home 
A diamond is a diamond a stone a stone but a man's not all good nor all bad 
Call them as you see them you'll stand alone, you're the best friend that you ever had oh yeah 
You're the best friend that you ever had 

So laugh when it's time to laugh cry when it's time to cry 
Live while it's time to live you'll die when it's time to die 
Lalalalala...
