This song is a reflection of my experience at the "Learning Journey" at the University Scholars Leadership Symposium 2014, Phnom Penh, Cambodia. 

"Diamond" - Words and Music by Bernardine Grigson

I am a stranger from far away, a stranger from so far away
You and I don't need words, 
You can read my mind, and I can read yours
Walking through your kingdom, I'm shown the universe

you took me into your world, you took me by the hand
I can feel your sorrow and your joy
You can read my mind, and I can read yours
Walking through your kingdom, I'm shown the universe

The kingdom is a diamond, brighter than the sun
The kingdom is a diamond, brighter than the sun
You showed me how to dance, You showed me how to dance

a stranger from far away, you can see into my soul
you and I don't need words 
you showed me your home, and I knew,
Walking through your kingdom, I'm shown the universe

The kingdom is a diamond, brighter than the sun
The kingdom is a diamond, brighter than the sun
You showed me how to dance, You showed me how to dance
The kingdom is a diamond, brighter than the sun
The kingdom is a diamond, brighter than the sun
You showed me how to dance, You showed me how to dance

Now I'm a million miles away, 
but I remember a million smiles you gave
so a smile is all I ever need to be, close to you

The kingdom is a diamond, brighter than the sun
The kingdom is a diamond, brighter than the sun
You showed me how to dance, You showed me how to dance
The kingdom is a diamond, brighter than the sun
The kingdom is a diamond, brighter than the sun
You took my hand, You showed me how to dance
You taught me how to sing, You gave me everything"


Diamond - A song for Cambodia

Bernardine's self titled 2015 album truthfully and wholly captures this emerging artist's musical demeanour. Bernardine's debut album is a collection of stories reflecting on her dealings with depression and anxiety in her adult life. Each song is a letter to the self and introspectively looks into asking whether she can accept herself and the world around her.
