Old Chunk of Coal

Lyrics

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
