Lyrics

THERE’S BEEN A WALL AROUND MY HEART
I’VE BEEN BUILDING BUILDING BUILDING
SOURCED BY THE SYSTEM REINFORCED BY MY TRAUMA
THE LEFT HAND DIDN’T KNOW WHAT THE RIGHT HAND HAD DONE

SOME SEE IT AS A BLOCK OF STONE
LOOKS LIKE NOTHING MORE BUT MORE INSIDE
AND THOUGH IT FEELS UNKNOWABLE
IT’S WHERE THE SPIRIT HIDES

SO I’LL KEEP CHIP CHIP CHIPPIN' AWAY INSIDE MY CIRCLE
TRYING TO FIND A NEW WAY TO BRING IT BACK TO LIFE
DO A LITTLE MORE EVERY DAY I’M MAKIN PROGRESS
AND REMEMBER

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW THE FUTURE
OR SEE THE DEPTHS OF THE OCEAN FLOOR
THE INTREPID EXPLORER HAS TO HARNESS HER COURAGE
TO GO A LITTLE FARTHER THAN SHE’S GONE BEFORE

SHE’S GOT TO KEEP CHIP CHIP CHIPPIN' AWAY INSIDE THAT CIRCLE
TRYING TO FIND A NEW WAY TO BRING IT BACK TO LIFE
DO A LITTLE MORE EVERY DAY SHE'LL BE MAKIN PROGRESS
AND REMEMBER

AT THOSE TIMES WHEN THE WALL FEELS IMPENETRABLE
CAN I FALL TO MY KNEES AND PRAY
IF I CALL TO YOU WILL YOU HELP ME TO REMEMBER PLEASE
THAT THERE’S ONLY ONE WAY

WE’VE GOT TO KEEP CHIP CHIP CHIPPIN' AWAY, CHIP CHIP CHIPPIN' AWAY
DO A LITTLE MORE EVERY DAY
YOU GOT TO KEEP CHIP CHIP CHIP CHIP CHIP CHIP CHIP CHIP CHIP CHIP
CHIPPIN' AWAY INSIDE YOUR CIRCLE
TRYING TO FIND A NEW WAY TO BRING ME BACK TO LIFE
DO A LITTLE MORE EVERY DAY YOU'LL BE MAKIN PROGRESS
AND REMEMBER

NOW THERE’S A WINDOW TO MY HEART
I’VE BEEN CARVING CARVING CARVING
SOURCED BY MY COURAGE REINFORCED BY MY PRAYERS
THE LEFT HAND TAKES THE RIGHT HAND AND THEY WALK INTO THE SUN

YEAH THEY WALK INTO THE SUN
HAND IN HAND MAKIN PLANS AND
CHIP CHIP CHIPPIN' AWAY
CHIP CHIP CHIPPIN' AWAY
