[Verso 1]
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
[Coro]
Well I'll be breaking these rocks
And cutting this hay
Yes I'll be breaking these rocks
What's my price to pay
[Verso 2]
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
[Coro]
[Verso 3]
Sun keeps beating down on me, wall's a mile high
Up in the tower they're watching me hoping I'm going to 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[x2]
(I won't be breaking no rocks)
