Old Chunk Of Coal

I'm just an old chunk of coal,

But I'm gonna be a diamond some day.

I'm gonna grow and blow 'til I'm so blue, pure, and perfect.

I'm gonna put a smile on everybody's face.

But I'm gonna kneel and pray every day,

Lest I should become vain along the way.

I'm just an old chunk of coal, now Lord,

But I'm gonna be a diamond some day.

I'm gonna the right way to talk.



I'm gonna search and find a better way to walk.

I'm gonna spit and polish my old rough edge itself,

Until I get rid of every single flaw.

I'm gonna be the world's best friend.

I'm gonna go around shaking everybody's hand.

I'm gonna be the cotton-pickin' rage of the age.

I'm gonna be a diamond some day.

I'm just an old chunk of coal, now Lord,

But I'm gonna be a diamond some day.
