[Verse 1]
They say diamonds are forever
Well I say only time will tell
They say money makes you happy
But I'm not buying what they sell

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh 'cause beauty, fame and fortune, how they sparkle to the eye
And fireworks burn brightly 'til they fall out of the sky

[Chorus]
Don't wanna live for something temporary
I've set my sights on eternity
A world of lesser things shines before me
But there's a difference between (A difference between)
Glitter and glory (Glitter, glitter, glory, glory)
Yeah (Glitter, glitter, glory, glory)

[Verse 2]
Some will see their name in neon
Think they've finally got it made
But there always comes a moment
When they watch it fade away

[Pre-Chorus]
I've seen power and possessions take an inch then take control
Don't wanna gain the world but lose my soul
