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
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 'em 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 a mountain, oh yeah, with a lot of care
I′ll take our daydream up the mountain, and a heaven will be waiting 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
I want a fine young son to take my place
I need a son in a heaven on earth with the good Lord′s grace
