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
I 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 them both come true
Gonna build a heaven
From a little hell

Gonna build me a heaven
And I know darn well
If I build my mountain with a lot of care
And take my daydream up the mountain

And heaven will be waiting there
When I build that heaven as I will someday
And the Lord sends Gabriel to take me away
What a fine, young son to take my place

I'll leave a son in my heaven on earth
With the good Lord's grace
With a fine, young son to take my place

I'll leave a Son in my heaven on earth
With the good Lord's grace
Gonna build me a mountain
(Yeah, yeah)
