Inner Dream

He's a haggard old fellow with a prominent chin And every time the sun comes up he's told to begin With a ?????? he works and abrades his callous hands [With a (accounts? counsel? ???) full of matured pride he works with (a?) blatant calloused hands] He pushes hard til sundown when he can hardly stand And he learned how to do it with practice and determination And no one can stop him 'cuz he heard an inner dream Our species is careening towards oblivion ever faster I have the world's problems thrust upon my back And at that crucial moment I shall liberate the planet My big wall will be the structure through which nothing else can pass All the neighbors pass by and they laugh at his creation They deface his monolithic work, gotta defend his vocation [they deface his model [living day's], work and defend his vocation] From his ??? trestle [serially weak trestle?], he can hear their uttering "I'm doing this for you all" he cried, "don't you understand the sanctity it brings?" He learned how to do it with practice and determination And no one can stop him 'cuz he heard an inner dream Our species is careening towards oblivion ever faster I have the world's problems thrust upon my back And at that crucial moment I shall liberate the planet My big wall will be the structure through which nothing else should pass When his trying task is over, it's time to end his day He goes to sleep the angels come and this is what they say: "Build ever higher, work ever more Don't be distracted by anything until you done your choir" "Can't you see I'm tired It's a hundred and five feet tall I think the time has come To go and save them all" Our species is careening towards oblivion ever faster I have the world's problems thrust upon my back And at that crucial moment I shall liberate the planet My big wall will be the structure through which nothing else will pass And the world will turn as usual
