Lump of Coal

Wed Nov 05 2008 2:01pm PST
Mood: blah and sleepy
Music: Michelle Branch - I\'d Rather Be In Love

I am a lump of coal
dirty and mis-shapen
I am not rock hard
brittle and easily broken

I am a lump of coal
put a spark to me and I will keep you warm
light me on fire and I will melt your steel

I am a lump of coal
crushed and refined
thrown into heat and pressure
then soon you will see
that all along I\'ve been a diamond in disguise

I am a diamond
clear and pure
cherished by sentiment and love
I am the hardest there is
but, I digress
ultimately, I am just a...
lump of coal
