One Rock Breaks

         E                A  E
One rock breaks beneath a hammer,
        B7              E
And its pieces scatter 'round.
      E                A  E
But a thousand build a fortress 
         E - B7           E
That can laugh the hammer down.

If the road be long and rocky,
If the storms around us roar,
Never cast your glance behind you,
Keep your eye upon the goal.

One rock breaks beneath a hammer,
And its pieces scatter 'round.
But a thousand build a fortress
That can laugh the hammer down.

Do not listen to the whispers
Of the cowards turning 'round.
Think upon your destination -
Only think of where you're bound.

One rock breaks beneath a hammer,
And its pieces scatter 'round.
But a thousand build a fortress
That can laugh the hammer down.

Take the arm of someone near you -
He will help you on your way.
In his strength you'll find the secret
Of a victory someday.

And one rock breaks beneath a hammer,
And its pieces scatter 'round.
But a thousand build a fortress
That can laugh the hammer down.

(Words and music by Tom Paxton, 1963)
