Born in the heat
Of the desert
My mother died
Giving me life
Deprived of the
Love of a father
Blamed for the
Loss of his wife
You know Lord
I've been
In prison
For something that
I've never done
It's been one hill
After another
I've climbed them
All one by one
Oh but this time
Oh He gave me
A mountain
A mountain
I may never climb
It isn't on a hill
Any longer
You gave me a
Mountain this time
My woman got
Tired of the
Heartaches
Tired of the grief
And the strife
So tired of
Working for nothing
Just tired of
Being my wife
She took my
One ray of
Sunshine
She took my pride
And my joy
She took my
Reason for living
She took my
Small baby boy
Oh but this time
Oh He gave me
Me a mountain
A mountain
I may never climb
It isn't on a
Hill any longer
You gave me a
Mountain this time
You gave me a
Mountain this time
A mountain
This time..
Oh..
