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 I 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 'em both come true Gonna build a heaven From a little hell Gonna build a heaven And I know darned 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 mountain From a little hell Gonna build a heaven And I know darned well With a fine young son Who will take my place There'll be a sun in my heaven on earth with the lord's good grace When I build that heaven As I will some day Gonna build a new life Throw the old away You and I together Gonna make life swing We'll fill tomorrow full of happiness Gonna make the whole world swing We'll fill tomorrow full of happiness Gonna make the whole world swing We'll fill tomorrow full of happiness Make the whole world swing
