Diamonds in His Hand

[Verse] Jake's a dreamer from Ree Ree Tree Tardio, Thinks he's struck it rich, grabbed a golden bow, Down at the swap meet, he found a shiny band, Swore it was diamonds, believed his own hand. [Verse 2] He strutted through town, a sparkle in his eyes, Showing off his treasure, didn't expect no lies, Folks whispered softly, behind his back they’d grin, Jake was chasing fool's gold, but he believed within. [Chorus] Diamonds in his hand, but it’s all just pretend, Cubic zirconia, playing tricks on an old friend, Jake’s heart is pure, though he's blind by the gleam, In the land of Ree Ree Tree, he's living his dream. [Verse 3] Took it to the jeweler, to see what it was worth, Hoping for a fortune, right there in the dirt, The jeweler shook his head, gave a gentle laugh, "Son, your diamonds are fake, on a broken path." [Bridge] Jake’s hope was shattered, his world turned to gray, But in his heart of hearts, he's still rich in his own way, For in the land of dreams, where fool's gold glows bright, The sparkle in his soul will never lose its light. [Verse 4] He’s back at the swap meet, with pockets full of hope, Looking for new treasures, on a different slope, His spirit’s undaunted, still looking for his prize, In the land of Ree Ree Tree, he sees the world with fresh eyes.
