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 everybody's face
Oh God, I'm gonna kneel and pray everyday
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'll figure it out)
ย
I'm gonna learn all the new 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 every single flaw
Oh, I wanna be the World's best friend
I'm gonna go 'round shaking everybody's hand
I'm just an old chunk of coal now, Lord
But 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
