Well I walked in the pouring rain
And I heard a voice that cries
"It´s all in vain"
The voice of doom
was shining in my room
I just need one day
somewhere far away
Lord I just need one day

Well I´ll be breaking these rocks
And cutting this hay
Yes I´ll be breaking these rocks
What´s my price to pay?

Well the river´s so muddy,
but it may come clear
And I know too well what´s keeping me here
I´m just the slave of a burning ray
Oh give me the night,
I can´t take another sight
Please, please give me the night

[CHORUS]

Sun keeps beating down on me, wall´s a mile high

Up in the tower they´re watching me hoping I´m gonna die

I won´t be breaking no rocks
I said "I won´t be breaking no rocks"

(I won´t be breaking no rocks)
(I won´t be breaking no rocks)
(I won´t be breaking no rocks)
When the kingdom comes
