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 have a hammer in my hand
And faith in my heart
I’ve already waited too long
And I’m ready to start

Chippin’ away, little by little, day by day
Chippin’ away, and the walls will come tumbling down
Oh what a wonderful sound

There is a wall around the church
And a wall around the prison
I think the wall around your heart, baby
Is blocking out your vision

So put a hammer in your hand
And faith in your heart
You’ve already waited too long
Aren’t you ready to start

Chippin’ away, little by little, day by day
Chippin’ away, and the walls will come tumbling down
Oh what a wonderful sound
