|
Born in the heat of the desert |
|
My mother died giving 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 never done |
|
It's been one hill after another |
|
I've climbed them all one by one |
|
Oh, but this time Lord, You gave me a mountain |
|
A mountain I may never climb |
|
It isn't Lord, a hill any longer |
|
You gave me a mountain this time |
|
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 |
|
Oh, well this time Lord, You gave me a mountain |
|
A mountain I may never climb |
|
It isn't Lord, a hill any longer |
|
You gave me a mountain this time |
|
You gave me a mountain this time |
