So much trouble in this time So many stairs to climb You built your house upon the sand I know that it wont stand Got my hammer in my hand Takes rocks and gravel, dont it To build that wall around it The rocks so high, baby Til I cant get over it Still so many hands to hold And lies I have not told I let my conscience by my guide When theres no one to confide I feel it start to slide Takes rocks and gravel, dont it To build that wall around it The rocks so high, baby Til I cant get over it And the rocks so hard, mama I had to hammer all night to break it Its the thing that I cant have, baby That makes me want to take it So much trouble in this time So many stairs to climb All my will at my command Trying to prove that Im a man Got my hammer in my hand Takes rocks and gravel, dont it To build that wall around it The rocks so high, baby Til I cant get over it And the rocks so hard, mama I had to hammer all night to break it Its the thing that I cant have, baby That makes me want to take it It makes me want to take it If it takes all night
