"One Diamond, One Heart" is a song by The Smashing Pumpkins off of their 2012 studio album, Oceania. It originally had a working title of "Four Winds Chime" and was attempted as an acoustic song. In a 2012 interview with MusicRadar, Corgan attributed the "turning point" of the recording process to be when bassist Nicole Fiorentino wrote the bass part:

Lyrics

I'm not here to hold your hand
I'm just here to understand
If you're feeling low I can help
I'm always on your side
Forever near your light
I'm always on your side
However you must fight
Within your darkest night
I'm always on your side

Lovers as lonely as lanterns lost
Show me faith's real cost
I'm always on your side
Forever near your light
I'm always on your side
Wherever you must fight
Within your darkest night

I'm always on your side
They won't rush you from me
'Cause here I'll always be
I'm always on your side
Forever near your light

I'm not here to hold you down
I'm just here to love you when
Your stars align and you let me and your heart win
I'm always on your side
Forever near your light
I'm always on your side

Lover, teach me sweet command
Show me where I land
I'm always on your side

I'm always on your side
Forever near your light
I'm always on your side
However you must fight
Within your darkest night
I'm always on your side
With evidence of trust
And eminence of love
I'm always on your side
Capitulate and fade
Resurrect and break
I'm always on your side
Forever in your light

I'm always on your side
Lover, light the way
