John Mccutcheon - Stone By Stone Lyrics
I am just a plumber,And I take pride in my jobI know every inch of piping,Underneath the streets of GrobNow overhead I hear a dread one hundred thousand strong,Like the waterХs will, they cannot still this power that moves us on.One by one,Side by side,We will stand and face the fire, thereХs no turning back this time.Stone by stone,Day by day,We will make the great walls crumble,And the boarders fade away.And I am just a mother,Two children six and four,And I grew up in the shadow of the wall, and of the war.From our mothers to our daughters weХll pass this torch one day.We praise the names who fanned the flames,and in one voice we sayOne by one,Side by side,We will stand and face the fire, thereХs no turning back this timeStone by stone,Day by day,We will make the great walls crumble and the borders fade away.I am just a student,And like students everywhere,We dreamed great dreams together,We gathered in the square.And though their tanks may break our bodies,weХll one day break these chains.The streets of blood like freedomХs flood,now surges through out veins.One by one,Side by side,We will stand and face the fire, thereХs no turning back this time.Stone by stone,Day by day,We will make the great walls crumble,and the borders fade away.And I hear the distant thunderas it rages oХer the seaand I watch with awe and wonderwhat's this got to do with meas we hear the cries for freedomrise from cities far and nearfrom great to least in west and east,we join their voiced hereOne by one,Side by side,We will stand and face the fire,thereХs no turning back this time.Stone by stone,Day by day,We will make the great walls crumble,and the borders fade away.One by one,Side by side,We will stand and face the fire, thereХs no turning back this time.Stone by stone,Day by day,We will make the great walls crumble,and the boarders Й fade away.
