A young man filled with fire from down in Tupelo Could not fight the rhythm he felt pounding in his soul And the radio exploded with the shocking news That a country boy called Elvis Could be the king of rhythm and blues. He was rocking, he was rocking in a hard place He was rocking, he was rocking in a hard place A little muscle and a whole lot of grace He kept rocking til the walls came down Here's a little bible story, it's one that we all know How Joshua chose to trust in God at the battle of Jericho But don't you know he had to face a lot of doubt and scorn Well, well well how the fortress fell as the band all blew their horns They were rocking, they were rocking in a hard place They were rocking, they were rocking in a hard place A little muscle and a whole lot of grace They kept rocking til the walls came down All fall down, they came down Do what you got to do , make a place for something new All fall down, they came down Bound to be a rocky ride, when it's time to turn the tide, From Christopher Columbus to Martin Luther King They all heard a different drum, that rare amazing thing Now change it don't come easy and it don't come fast But we'll always fail the future if it's a picture of the past Keep on rockin, keep on rocking in a hard place We be rockin, keep on rocking in a hard place A little muscle and a lot of grace, Rock it til the walls come down 2 X Til they crumble down down down Rockin to the ground
