There once was a stonecutter 
Who was dissatisfied with himself and with his position in life

The stonecutter woke before the sun's bright gaze
Could warm the cold dirt floor of his rude hut
And from his bag, he drew a flint and struck
A spark he deftly blew into a blaze
And as he knelt and baked his simple bread
Reflecting on the toil that lay ahead
His weary heart was laden down with grief
To think the day could offer no relief
From his unending struggle with the stone
The hammer blows that wracked him to the bone
The elements that soaked and scorched his skin
He cursed the life that fate had granted him
To carve the stubborn mountain's face alone
That kings might build their fortresses of stone
