Lyrics
CHIPPIN' AWAY
words & music
Tom Griffith
It's an uphill climb in a steady wind sometimes - sometimes
It's a cave where sunlight's never been sometimes - sometimes
I keep on stumbling through the dark wondering if I'm wasting time
But I can't quit - I can't stop yet
There's too much left for me to find
Chippin' away at the Rock of Gibraltar
Finding my shadow in the noonday sun
Chippin' away at the Rock of Gibraltar
I'm just gonna stay here and get the job done hey hey
Chippin' away
It's an icy fog and I lose my way sometimes - sometimes
All that I can do is bow my head and pray sometimes - sometimes
I'm in a hole I can't ignore and the sides are getting steeper
But I know I'll find what I came here for
If I dig a little deeper and deeper
Chorus
Sometimes I see a glimmer, sometimes I feel a spark
Sometimes it's like a diamond I see it shining in the dark
Chorus
