Old Chunk Of Coal

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 some day" --- Old Chunk of Coal - Johnny Cash
