I'm Just an Old Chunk of Coal (But I'm Gonna Be a Diamond Some Day)

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'ma 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, I know
But I'm gon' be a diamond some day

I'm gonna learn to write words to talk
I'm gon' a search and find a better way to walk
I'm gonna spit and polish my ol' rough edged self
'Til 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 just an old chunk of coal, I know
But I'm gon' be a diamond some day

I'm just an old chunk of coal
But I'm gon' be a diamond some day
I'm gonna grow and glow 'til I'm so blue, pure, perfect
I'ma put a smile on everybody's face

I'm gonna kneel and pray everyday
Lest I should become vain along the way
Hey, I'm just an old chunk of coal, I know
But I'm gon' be a diamond some day
I'm gonna be the guitar pickin' rage of the age
I'm gon' be a diamond some day, mm
