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've never done
|
It's been one hill after another but I've climbed them all one by one
|
But this time Lord you gave me a mountain a mountain I may never climb
|
And it isn't a hill any longer you gave me a mountain this time
|
|
My woman got tired of the hardships tired of the grief and the strife
|
So tired of working for nothing 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
|
So this time Lord you gave me...
|

You Gave Me A Mountain
