Gonna Build a Mountain

Gonna Build a Mountain - Sammy Davis Jr.

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.

I 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 them both come true.

Gonna build a heaven.

From a little hell.

Gonna build me a heaven.

And I know darn well.

If I build my mountain with a lot of care.

And take my daydream up the mountain.

And heaven will be waiting there.

When I build that heaven as I will someday.

And the lord sees Gabriel to take me away.

What a fine young son to take my place.

I'd leave a son in my heaven on earth.

With the good lord's praise.

What a fine young son to take my place.

I'd leave a son in my heaven on earth.

With the good lord's praise.
