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



Well I'll be breaking these rocks

And cutting this hay

Yes I'll be breaking these rocks

What's my price to pay



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 wont be breaking no rocks

(I won't be breaking no rocks) Oh-oh-oh

(I won't be breaking no rocks) Oh-oh-oh

(I won't be breaking no rocks)



When the kingdom comes

When the kingdom comes

When the kingdom comes

When the kingdom comes
