I'm just an old chunk of coal
But I'm gonna be a diamond someday
I'm gonna grow and glow till I'm so blue pure perfect
Gonna 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 someday
ย
I'm gonna learn the right words to talk
Gonna search and find a better way to walk
I'm gonna spit and polish my old rough-edged self
Till I get rid of every single flaw
I wanna be the world's best friend
Gonna go around shaking everybody's hand
I'm just an old chunk of coal, now Lord
But I'm gonna be a diamond someday
I'm just an old chunk of coal, now Lord
But I'm gonna be a diamond someday
