1
You can stack the stones yourself
You can stay awake all night
You can carry what was never
Meant for your shoulders alone
In vain
In vain
All your striving
In vain
2
The wall you build without foundation
Falls before the morning comes
The city that you guard with worry
Was never yours to keep
In vain
In vain
All your watching
In vain
3
There is a weight that isn't yours
There is a watch you were not called to keep
There is a house that stands
When you have finally stopped building
4
Drop the tools
Step back from the wall
Not everything that's heavy
Belongs on your back
In vain
In vain
5
Unless the ground is given
Unless the watch is kept by another
Unless the house is built by more than hands
Wasted breath
Empty walls
In vain
