Some nights I stay up
Mining for some diamonds
Some nights I find none at all
And some nights I try my best to build a castle
Most nights those creepers blow it up

But I still stay up
I still see those ghasts
No I'm still not sure
What I mine for, oh

What do I mine for?
What do I mine for?
Most nights
I'm not sure
Anymore

Well this is it boys
Grab your torch
Don't forget to enchant your swords
Now how did we get so lost already?
The zombie pigs put up such a fight
Skeletons come on out at night
I try my best to make lots of light
Here they come again to shoot me down
That's alright
There's not monsters near my bed tonight
Nobody is gonna steal all of my diamonds
Diamonds
Diamonds

Well most nights I wish that
The nights would end
'Cause I could use some sun for a change
And most nights I'm scared
I'll see the enderman
He'll find out where I sleep
And then he'll murder me

But I still stay up
I still see those ghasts
No I'm still not sure
What I mine for, oh

What do I mine for?
What do I mine for?
Most nights
I'm not sure
Anymore
