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 glow 'til I'm so blue pure perfect
I'm gonna put a smile on ev'rybody's face

I'm gonna kneel and pray ev'ry 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 words to talk
I'm gonna search and find a better way to walk
I'm gonna spit and polish my old rough-edged self
'Til I get rid of ev'ry single flaw

I'm gonna be the world's best friend
I'm gonna go 'round shaking ev'rybody's hand
I'm just an old chunk of coal now Lord
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
