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
