They say the wall of China's seen from the moon They keep building empires to mortal fools But where the world goes small you stood alone To face Goliath and the might of Rome
Where the rock sets hard your arms hit strong Digging out your road ten thousand paces long Fragments of survival in the driving rain With the blood and tears that bear your name
On and on the meek the strong On and on the meek the strong
They built the wall of China with a million men Thought that broken promises would wear you thin But they didn't count on things they couldn't see One island man with heart of steel
