1: I'm gonna build a mountain, from a little hill.

I'm gonna build a mountain, least I hope I will.

I'm gonna build a mountain, I'm gonna build it high.

I don't know how I'm gonna do it, only know I'm gonna try.

2: I'm gonna build a daydream, from a little hope.

I'm gonna push the daydream, up that mountain slope.

I'm gonna build a daydream, woah, I'm gonna see it through.

Gonna build a mountain and a daydream,

Gonna make 'em both come true.

3: I'm gonna build a heaven, as a will someday,

And the Lord sends Ga-bri-el to take me away.

Woah, I wanna fine young son, to take my place.

I'll leave my son in my heaven on earth with the good Lord's grace.
