I Shall Emerge Someday
by Bill Haley

 		I shall emerge someday
			a nugget of gold though covered with clay
		I shall emerge someday
			mud made to gold though covered with clay
		Rising from the pit
			gold though covered with clay I shall emerge someday

		Some will see clay, some will know gold
			God made the gold though covered with clay
		I shall lose my cloak in Heaven someday
			though sooner I'll emerge as gold covered with clay

			Oftentimes in these days I feel as
							clay covered with clay

		But I shall emerge someday
			a nugget of gold though covered with clay
		And then another day the layer of mire
			will be stripped spotless away
		I shall be gilded gold someday
				though now clay covered with clay

				God, split the mass...
