W ell I walked in the pouring rain
And I heard a voice that cries
"It's all in vain"
T he voice of doom
w as shining in my room
I just need o ne day
s omewhere far away
L ord I just need one d ay
W ell I'll be breaking these rocks
A nd cutting this hay
Y es I'll be breaking these rocks
W hat'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
W ell I'll be breaking these rocks
A nd cutting this hay
Y es I'll be breaking these rocks
W hat's my price to pay?
S un keeps beating down on me wall's a mile high
U p 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
