Death & Diamonds

Verse 1

She spends her mornings in a black suit

Coffee strong, hair pulled tight

Learning how to hold a family

On the worst day of their lives

She’s gentle with the broken

Speaks soft, steady, kind

She knows how to honor endings

And still be doing fine

Pre-Chorus

But when the workday’s done

And the sun starts sinking low

Chorus

She trades death for diamonds

Grass stains and stadium lights

Finds peace in a fastball

Cutting through the night

She’s learned how life can leave you

And how it fights to stay

Between the final goodbyes

And the seventh-inning stretch

She finds her faith in both ways

Yeah, it’s death and diamonds

Verse 2

She’s seen the weight of silence

Heard prayers whispered low

Watched love stand still in doorways

When it’s time to let one go

So she don’t waste a heartbeat

She don’t miss a chance

If there’s a game on the radio

She’s listening with both hands

Pre-Chorus

She knows tomorrow’s not promised

So she cheers while she can

Chorus

She trades death for diamonds

Dust clouds and wooden bats

Finds joy in a clean double play

And the sound of a glove snap

She knows how fragile life is

How fast the moments fly

Between folded flags and scorecards

She learns how to say goodbye

Yeah, it’s death and diamonds

Bridge

Some folks think it’s strange

The way she loves them both

But standing at the graveside

Makes the cheers mean more

She’s not afraid of endings

Or extra innings tied

She just shows up for every pitch

On both sides of life

Final Chorus

She’ll always choose compassion

And a front-row seat

For the living and the leaving

For the loss and the dreams

She holds grief with steady hands

And hope with a roar

From chapel bells to crack of the bat

She knows what she’s living for

It’s death and diamonds

Outro

Yeah, she walks that fine line

With a strong heart and steady spine

Honoring the past

While cheering for the next play

That’s her life—

Death and diamonds.
