I´m just an old chunk of coal
But I´m going to be a diamond some day
I´m going to grow and glow
Until I´m so blue pure perfect

I´m going to put a smile on everybody´s face
But I´m going to 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 going to be a diamond some day
I´m going to be learn the right way to talk
I´m going to search and find a better way to walk
I´m going to spit and polish my old rough-edged self
Until I get rid of every single flaw
I´m going to be the world´s best friend
I´m going to be go around shaking everybody´s hand
I´m going to be the cotton-picking Rage of the Age
Yes I´m going to be a diamond some day

I said I´m just an old chunk of coal now Lord

But I´m going to be a diamond some day
