Day after day I try to,
Earn my pay,
Go a little further but,
The odds are never in my favour.
Oh - oh - oh - another.
I tell myself this can't go - on,
Very much longer but,
When I put the last brick,
In the wall...

Another brick falls.

I try to run.
I try to hide.
A thorn gets stuck right in my side.
I tell myself it's all a game,
But the truth remains,   (Another).
I pick it up.
I plow ahead.
I think of all,
I've done and said.
But - it is never quite enough.
Life - will always be a little tough.

I run my race, keep up - oh,
Pretty well, at a steady pace - but,
There are days I fall behind the pack,   (Oh - oh - another).
It all seems simple till it,
Gets - so hard to handle,
From the sky,
From nothing at all...

Another brick falls.

I try to run.
I try to hide.
A thorn gets stuck right in my side.
I tell myself it's all a game,
But the truth remains,   (Another).
I pick it up.
I plow ahead.
I think of all,
I've done and said.
But it is never quite enough.
Life - will always be a little tough.

Obstacles are a loss of concentration.
A thought that is in total isolation.
Hang on, you're headed for a ride.
Don't stray from the path that leads you,
Instinct will never deceive you,
When life really kicks,
Learn to catch those - falling bricks.

I try to run.
I try to hide.
A thorn gets stuck right in my side.
I tell myself it's - all a game.
Oh.

I try to run.
And I try to hide.
A thorn gets stuck in my side.
I tell myself - it's all a game,
But the truth remains,   (Another).
I pick it up.
I plow ahead.
I think of all,
I've done and said.
But - it is never quite enough.
Life - will always be a little tough.
