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

On and on the meek the strong

On and on the meek the strong

On and on the meek the strong

On and on the meek the strong

One man to change the world

One word to bring it down

One stand to right a wrong

Only the meek can break the strong

Only the meek can break the strong
