Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Will you come quick upon the hill
We''ll break some bread and we'll all take our fill
We have the greatest reason of all
We'll build a city or we'll fall
Haven't you heard that we are free?
Haven't you traced the steps back from Calvary?
We have the greatest reason of all
We'll build a city or we'll fall
We'll build a city without walls
So bring all your hammers, your nails, and your tools
Bring all you can spare and what you might use
And now loose your grip; we'll not need our hands today
We'll build a city as we pray
So bring all your hammers, your nails, and your tools
Bring all you can spare and what you might use
And now loose your grip; we'll not need our hands today
We'll build a city as we pray
We''ll break some bread and we'll all take our fill
We have the greatest reason of all
We'll build a city or we'll fall
Haven't you heard that we are free?
Haven't you traced the steps back from Calvary?
We have the greatest reason of all
We'll build a city or we'll fall
We'll build a city without walls
So bring all your hammers, your nails, and your tools
Bring all you can spare and what you might use
And now loose your grip; we'll not need our hands today
We'll build a city as we pray
So bring all your hammers, your nails, and your tools
Bring all you can spare and what you might use
And now loose your grip; we'll not need our hands today
We'll build a city as we pray

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
i think this song may have some kind of parallel to John Winthrop's City upon a Hill speech in 1630 when the Puritans came to new england and started the Mass. Bay coloney.
In the speech, Winthrop preaches about how he has this vision of a beautiful city upon a hill in the new world, that they must all work together to make the city work. Which relates to the line "So bring all your hammers, your nails, and your tools."
I also believe that the Puritans started their voyage from Calvary. Which explains the line "Haven't you traced the steps back from Calvary?"
Other than that, this is an amazing song, one of my favorites from Braddigan.
I believe that Calvary is the place where Jesus was crucified...thus, that line.<br /> <br /> Beautiful song, my favorite by Braddigan. But of course, all of his songs are amazing.
Christ was definitely NOT crucified in Calvary.
