Gonna Build A Mountain

Gonna build a mountain from a little hill
Gonna build me a mountain, least I hope I will
Gonna build a mountain, gonna build it high
I don’t know how I’m gonna do it, only know I’m gonna try

Gonna build me a daydream from a little hope
Gonna push that daydream up the mountain slope
Gonna build a daydream, gonna see it through
Gonna build a mountain and a daydream, gonna make ’em both come true

Gonna build me a heaven from a little hell
Gonna build me a heaven, and I know darn well
That if I build a mountain, oh yeah, with a lot of care
I’ll take our daydream up the mountain, and a heaven will be waiting there

Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

When I build that heaven, as I will someday
And the Lord sends Gabriel to take me away
I want a fine young son to take my place
I need a son in a heaven on Earth with the good Lord’s grace
