Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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 gonna be a diamond some day
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna learn to write words to talk
I'm on a search and find a better way to walk
I'm gonna spit and polish my ol' rough-edged self
Until I get rid of every single flaw
[Chorus]
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 gonna be a diamond some day
[Instrumental]
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
[Chorus]
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 gonna be a diamond some day
I'm gonna be the guitar pickin' rage of the age
I'm gonna be a diamond some day, mm
