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

Yeah yeah

Gonna build me a daydream

Yeah yeah

From a little hope

Yeah yeah

Gonna push that daydream

Yeah yeah

Up the mountain slope

Yeah yeah

Gonna build a daydream

Yeah yeah

Gonna see it through

Yeah yeah

Gonna build a mountain and a daydream

Gonna make them both come true

Yeah yeah

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

Yeah yeah

And the Lord sends gabriel to take me away

Yeah yeah

What a fine young son

To take my place

Yeah yeah

I'll leave a son in my heaven on earth

With the good Lord's grace

With a 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 me a mountain

Yeah yeah
