lyrics

YOU’VE GOT TO KEEP ON SWINGING
UNTIL THE WALLS COME DOWN
YOU’RE NEVER GONNA SEE SOMEBODY WALKIN’ UP HERE
HANDIN’ YOU A CROWN

YOU’VE GOT TO JUST KEEP MOVIN’
NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY
IF YOU’RE CHASIN’ DOWN YOUR DREAM WALK RIGHT BY SOMEBODY
STANDIN’ IN YOUR WAY

YOU’VE GOT TO KEEP ON SWINGIN’ THE HAMMER
EVERY SINGLE DAY

YOU’VE GOT TO TRY TO KEEP LAUGHIN’
EVEN WHEN YOUR HEART BREAKS
YOU JUST KEEP ON PUSHIN’ UP THE MOUNTAIN
NO MATTER WHAT THAT MOUNTAIN TAKES

AW BABY JUST KEEP TRYIN’
UNTIL YOU FIND A WAY
AND WHEN THEY SAY TOO BLACK, TOO WHITE, TOO BLUES…
THEY’RE JUST JUST WORDS ANYWAY. YEAHÍ

YOU‘VE GOT TO KEEP ON SWINGING THE HAMMER
EVERY SINGLE DAY

AND WATCH THE WALLS COME DOWN….DOWN…DOWN
AND WATCH THE WALLS COME DOWN….DOWN…DOWN

YOU JUST NEED TO KEEP WANTING
TO BE YOUR OWN THING NOW
AND EVERY TIME THEY PUT THEIR HAND UP TO STOP YOU
YA ÍGONNA SMILE CAUSE YOU’RE GOIN’ ANYHOW

JUST KEEP ON SWINGIN’
TILL THE WALLS FALL AWAY
AND IF THE HAMMER’S TOO HEAVY , KEEP TRYING
MIGHT TAKE A LITTLE WHILE , THAT’S OK. THAT'S OK.

YOU’VE GOT TO KEEP ON SWINGIN’ THE HAMMER EVERY SINGLE DAY.
