Lonely days and lonely nights
I'm building a dam
Ain't got not ladder, ain't got no sledge
still i'm building this wall
Surely my dues are paid
Enough of all this hurt inside
Cause i've been waitin'
(so long)
I'll take my chances by your side
(oh' Lord)
I'm making a statement
Making a statement
The furnace is melting, it's hotter than hell
still i'm shoveling coal
The chisel is worn down, the rock is so hard
still i'm chiseling on
Surely my dues are paid
Enough of all this hurt inside
Cause i've been waitin'
(so long)
I'll take my chances by your side
(oh'lord)
I'm making a statement
making a statement
Well they say life goes on
On and on, like a tiresome song
But they ain't seen you baby
all dressed up in black
(Ah! here she comes)
Oh! Enough of all this hurt inside
cause i've been waitin'
I'll take my chances by your side
...I'm makin'a statement
makin'a statement
