Gonna build a mountain
From a little hill
Gonna build 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 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 a heaven
And I know darn well
If I build my mountain
With a lot of care
And take my daydream
Up the mountain
Heaven will be waiting there
When I build that heaven
As I will someday
And the Lord sends Gabriel
To take me away
Wanna 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 a heaven
From a little hell
Gonna build a heaven
And I know darn well
If I build my mountain
With a lot of care
And take my daydream
Up the mountain
Heaven will be waiting there
Gonna build a daydream
Gonna see it through
Gonna build a mountain
And a daydream gonna
Make them both come true
