Verse 1

Left my job, I sailed to India,
Chasing dreams of gems so blue.
Fossicker with heart on fire,
Hardships came, but hope shone through.

Chorus

In the mines, the water rising,
Visions of the stones I seek.
Snakes and fever test my spirit,
Still the gems are what I seek.

Verse 2

Standing deep beneath the surface,
Earth conceals her treasures bright.
Every swing brings me no closer,
Fading dreams consume my nights.

Chorus

In the mines, the darkness glistens,
Whispers of the stones I crave.
Bitten, burning, yet I'm daunted,
Dreams of blue I try to save.

Bridge

Dreams of riches fade and flicker,
Sky-blue jewels beyond my sight.
Through the pain and through the trials,
Hope is dimming with the light.

Verse 3

Every day my hope grows weaker,
Doubt replaces prize ahead.
Though the road is rough and weary,
I have lost the faith I had.

Chorus

In the mines, the shadows linger,
Challenges at every turn.
Injuries and lost ambitions,
Both ignite my soul's deep burn.

Outro

Left my job, I sailed to India,
Chasing dreams that led me here.
