text: Well 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’m gonna put a smile on everybody’s face
  But 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
  I’m gonna search and 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 shakin’ everybody’s hand
  I’m gonna be the cotton-pickin’ rage of the age
  Yes, I’m gonna be a diamond some day
  I said, ‘I’m just an old chunk of coal, my Lord
  But I’m gonna be a diamond someday’
