I'm Just An Old Chunk Of Coal
But I'm Gonna Be A Diamond Some Day
I'm Gonna Glow And Grow
'Til I'm So Blue Pure Perfect
I'm Gonna 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 Best Way To Walk
I'm Gonna Search And Find A Better Way To Talk
I'm Gonna Spit And Polish My Old 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
Hey, I'm Gonna Be The Cotton-pickin' Rage Of The Age
I'm Gonna Be A Diamond Some Day
