Oh but this time Lord you gave me a mountain, a mountain you know, I may never climb. It isn't just a hill any longer.
You gave me a mountain this time.
Born in the heat of the desert. My mother died givin' me life. Deprived of the love of a father. Blamed for the loss of his wife.
You know Lord I've been in a prison. For something that I've never done. It's been one hill after another. And I've climbed them all one by one.
Yeah but this time Lord you gave me a mountain. A mountain I may never climb. It isn't a hill any longer. You gave me a mountain this time. Yeah Lord, You gave me a mountain. Don't you know. You gave me a mountain this time.
Born in the heat of the desert. My mother died givin' me life. Deprived of the love of a father. Blamed for the loss of his wife.
You know Lord I've been in a prison. For something that I've never done. It's been one hill after another. And I've climbed them all one by one.
My woman got tired of the heartaches. Tired of the grief and the strife. So tired of working for nothing. Just tired of being my wife.
She took my one ray of sunshine. She took my pride and my joy. She took my reason for living. She took my small baby boy.
