LYRICS
I'm just an old chunk of coal
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day
I'm gonna glow 'til I'm so pure perfect
Put a smile on everybody's face
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'm gonna learn the right way to talk
Gonna find a better way to walk
I'm gonna spit and polish my old rough-edged self
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 rage of the age
Yea I'm gonna be a diamond some day
I'm just an old chunk of coal, my Lord
But I'm gonna be a diamond
Some day
Some day
I'm gonna be a diamond
Some day
