Lyrics

[Intro]

We're 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 we're gonna do it, only know we're gonna try

[Verse 1]

Gonna build us a heaven from a little hell

Gonna build us a heaven and I know darn well

That if I build that mountain with a lot of care (Oh yeah, with a lot of care)

I'll take our daydream up the mountain and Heaven will be waitin' there

[Bridge]

Gonna build a mountain from a little Heaven

You'll take your daydream up the mountain and Heaven will be waitin' there

Oh yeah (Oh yeah)

Oh yeah (Oh yeah)

Oh yeah (Oh yeah)

Look at that mountain (Look at that mountain)

Look at that mountain (Look at that mountain)

Look at that mountain (Look at that mountain)

Look at that mountain (Look at that mountain)

Gonna build a mountain (Gonna build a mountain)

Gonna build a mountain (Gonna build a mountain)

Gonna build a mountain (Gonna build a mountain)

Gonna build a mountain (Gonna build a mountain)

Gonna build that mountain

[Verse 2]

No (Mountain, mountain, build a mountain, mountain, mountain, build a mountain)

Let me build it (Mountain, mountain, build a mountain, mountain, mountain, build a mountain)

Just one (Mountain, mountain, build a mountain, mountain, mountain, build a mountain)

Mountain high (Mountain, mountain, build a mountain)

Mountain, mountain, build a mountain

[Verse 3]

Gonna build a mountain with a lot of care (Build a mountain, build a mountain)

I'll take my daydream up the mountain and Heaven will be waitin' there

[Outro]

Gonna build

I'm gonna build us

I'm gonna build us a mountain

Build us a mountain

Build us a mountain

High, let's build it

Mountain, mountain, build a mountain

Mountain, mountain, build a mountain

Mountain (Mountain, mountain, build a mountain)

Mountain (Mountain, mountain, build a mountain)

Mountain (Mountain, mountain, build a mountain)

Mountain (Mountain, mountain, build a mountain)

Mountain (Mountain, mountain, build a mountain)

Mountain (Mountain, mountain, build a mountain)

Mountain-tain-tain (Mountain, mountain, build a mountain)

Build a
