Anthony Newley - Gonna Build a Mountain

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 a 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 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'll be waiting there

Gonna build a mountain
Gonna build it high!
I don't know how I'm gonna do it
Only know I'm gonna try

When I've built that heaven
As I will some day
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'll be waiting there

Gonna build a mountain
Gonna build it high!
I don't know how I'm gonna do it
Only know I'm gonna try

Wanna fine young son
To take my place
There will be a son in my heaven on earth
With the Good Lord's Grace
