They say the mountain is high
And you'll never move it
Ah, but before I believe that
They'll just have to prove it
I've got a hammer in my hand
And faith in my heart
I've already waited too long
Now I'm ready to start
Chippin' away, little by little, day by day
Chippin' away and the wall will come tumbling down
Oh what a wonderful sound
There is a wall around the town
And a wall around the city
I think the wall around your heart, baby
Isn't it a pity
So put a hammer in your hand
And some faith in your heart
You've already waited too long
I'm too ready to start
Chippin' away, little by little, day by day
Chippin' away and the wall will come tumbling down
Oh what a wonderful sound
