Old Chunk Of Coal Lyrics

Well I'm just an old chunk of coal
But I'm gonna be a diamond someday I'm gonna grow and glow till
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 be convened along the way
I'm just an old chunk of coal now Lord But I'm gonna be a diamond someday

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
I'm gonna be the cotton picking rage of the age
I'm gonna be a diamond someday

Now I'm just an old chunk of coal
But I'm gonna be a diamond someday I'm gonna grow and glow
'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 be convened along the way
I'm just an old chunk of coal now Lord But I'm gonna be a diamond someday

I'm just an old chunk of coal now Lord But I'm gonna be a diamond someday

I'm Not Running Anymore

Well I'm just an old chunk of coal 
But I'm gonna be a diamond someday I'm gonna grow and glow till 
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 be convened along the way 
I'm just an old chunk of coal now Lord But I'm gonna be a diamond someday

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 
I'm gonna be the cotton picking rage of the age 
I'm gonna be a diamond someday

Now I'm just an old chunk of coal 
But I'm gonna be a diamond someday I'm gonna grow and glow 
'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 be convened along the way 
I'm just an old chunk of coal now Lord But I'm gonna be a diamond someday

I'm just an old chunk of coal now Lord But I'm gonna be a diamond someday

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
