Gonna Build a Mountain Lyrics
[Intro]
One, two, three, and two, two
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Gonna build me a heaven from a little hell
Gonna build me a heaven and I know darn well
That if I build my mountain, yeah, with a lot of care
And take my daydream up the mountain
And Heaven will be waitin' there
[Bridge]
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 4]
When I build that heaven as I will someday
And the Lord sends Gabriel to take me away
Ah, what a fine young son to take my place
I'll leave a son in a heaven on earth
With the good Lord's grace
One, two, three, and two, two
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 me a heaven from a little hell
Gonna build me a heaven and I know darn well
That if I build my mountain, yeah, with a lot of care
And take my daydream up the mountain
And Heaven will be waitin' 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
Ah, what a fine young son to take my place
I'll leave a son in a heaven on earth
With the good Lord's grace
