Monkees Song Lyrics

Gonna Build a Mountain

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.
4:      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, yeah, gonna see it through.
        Gonna build a mountain and a daydream,
        Gonna make 'em both come true.
5:      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.
6:      I wanna build a heaven, as a will someday,
        And the Lord sends Ga-bri-el to take me away.
        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.
        I wanna fine young son, yeah, to take my place.
        I'll leave my son in my heaven on earth, with the good Lord's grace.
        Yea-eah.
