Looking for direction , the mighty Amazon 
Only one ambition , to find the precious stone 
When I was a boy it was a vision 
Now it all just seems like deja-vu 
Maybe it was all a premonition 
Searchin` for treasure in the land of Peru , ooh 

Diamonds ( diamonds) up , down , in and out of the Amazon 
Diamonds ( diamonds) , he won`t stop , the kid goes on and on 

Saw the holy temple , a man was on his knees 
Sacrificion ceremony , the Gods they wanna please , oh 
Then the people shouted with emotion 
Try to scale the giant pyramid 
Following the writing on the sandstone 
(saying the stone was in the room of the dead) oh no no no 

Diamonds (diamonds) up , down , in and out of the Amazon 
Diamonds (diamonds) he won`t stop , the kid goes on and on 

Oh burning with fever , I`m dying of hunger 
I`m searching all night , searching all night , all night 

(break) 

Then I jumped and run into the jungle 
The solid ground gave way beneath my feet 
Fallen inside an icy tomb forever 
(the rock he was after is now out of reach) 

Diamonds (diamonds) up , down , in and out the Amazon 
Diamonds (diamonds) he won`t stop , the kid goes on and on 
Diamonds (diamonds) up , down , in and out the Amazon 
Diamonds (diamonds) he won`t stop , the kid goes on and on 
Diamonds (diamonds) up , down , in and out of the Amazon 
Diamonds (diamonds) he won`t stop , the kid goes on and on (fade)
