Hammer and Nail - Bishop Allen

How long do you have to hammer the nail?

How long do you have to hammer the nail?

Before you finally figure out if you succeeded or failed

How long?

How long?

One day

I know I’m going to kick the curse

One day

I know I’m going to kick the curse

But talking about it now is only making it worse

One day

One day

Can I count on a change?

A crisis of faith to come and save me?

When the work isn’t done, the calluses come, what what then?

Trying to chase perpetual grace but there isn’t a trace

When my head lands heavy on the pillow

Wake up and I start again

How long do you have to hammer the nail?

How long do you have to hammer the nail?

Before you finally figure out that you’ve been building a jail

How long?

How long?

All the liquor in town, tried to turn it around

Feeling lucky

But the blistering sun, the tip of my tongue

Feeling small

Then the shadow was saved

The power betrayed

I’m only getting further at the end of the day

Is there a difference looking over that wall?

How long do you have to hammer the nail?

How long do you have to hammer the nail?

How long (how long)

do you have to hammer the nail?

How long (how long)

do you have to hammer the nail?

How long (how long)

How long (how long)

How long (how long)

How long (how long)
