Old Chunk Of Coal

I'm just an old chunk of coal
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day
I'm gonna glow 'til I'm so pure and perfect
Put a smile on everybody's face

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 learn the right way to talk
I'm gonna find a better way to walk
I'm gonna polish my old rough-edged self
'Til I get rid of every single flaw

I'm gonna be the world's best friend
Gonna go around and shaking everybody's hand
I'm gonna be the rage of the age
I'm gonna be a diamond, a diamond some day

I'm just an old chunk of coal now Lord
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day
Some day
I'm gonna be a diamond some day
