Come neighbor, get ready to

My son, I was once where you stand
          D           G          D
There's a beast with insatiable hunger
      Bm            D            
It's minions need crafters and 
A                D
skilled, working hands

To turn whey as fast as we can

We may be the mortar that cradles the brick,
D              A           D
But i am just one grain of sand.
           D         G            D
And don't tell me of tossing the wrenches

I could've been more than some stone-dragging vessel

wood-cutting slave

Know their mansions from cellar to roof
            D          G             D
We've got hammers, and wrenches, and chisels
           D               G               
We could destroy any great wall
