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 won't 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 (repeat ad inf)
