Janiva Magness, Charlie Musselwhite - Hammer Lyrics

You got to keep on swinging
Until the walls come down
You'll never gonna see somebody walking out
Here handing you a crown

Got to just keep moving
No matter what they say
If you're chasing down your dreams, walk right by
Somebody standing in your way

You've got to keep on swinging the hammer
Every single day

You got to try to keep laughing
Even when your heart breaks
You just keep on pushing out the mountain
No matter what the mountain takes

Oh baby, just keep trying
Until you find your way
And when they say too black, too white, too blues
They're just words anyway

Just got to keep on swinging the hammer
Every single day

And watch the walls come down
Come down, down, yeah yeah
Watch the walls come down
Come down, they come down, yeah yeah yeah

You're just movin' through the world and
To be your own thing now
And every time they put their hand up, stop
You're gonna smile 'cause you're going anyhow

Just keep on swinging
Till the walls fall away
And if the hammer's too heavy, keep trying
It'll take a little while but that's oka, that's okay

You've got to keep on swinging the hammer
Every single day
Every single day
Every single day
Every single day
Oh oh yeah
Oh oh yeah
