Lyrics
I used to be an angry man pounding on that old brick wall
I'd swing away with all my might, hoping that it would fall
I gave it all that I had and then
every day I was back again
But I never got anywhere at all
But now I'm chipping away, I'm chipping away
I'm chipping away at the barriers and walls that are in my way
I'm chipping away at the brick and the clay
I'm chipping away and I get a little further everyday
I used to think that I was right, and everybody else was wrong
I never heard a word they said, I had opinions of my own
Another wall was in front of me, it was so high that I couldn't see
And every day I was more alone
But now I'm chipping away, I'm chipping away
I'm chipping away at the barriers and walls that are in my way
I'm chipping away at the brick and the clay
I'm chipping away and I get a little further everyday
If there's a wall in front of you, well you know you won't get too far
Unless the man you want to be, is better than the man you are
But now I'm chipping away, I'm chipping away
I'm chipping away at the barriers and walls that are in my way
I'm chipping away at the brick and the clay
I'm chipping away and I get a little further everyday
