1
Born in the heat of the desert
2
My mother died giving me life
3
Deprived of the love of a father
4
Blamed for the loss of his wife
5
You know Lord I've been in a prison
6
For something that I never done
7
It's been one hill after another
8
I've climbed them all one by one
9
But this time, Lord you gave me a mountain
10
A mountain you know I may never climb
11
It isn't just a hill any longer
12
You gave me a mountain this time
13
My woman got tired of heartaches
14
Tired of the grief and the strife
15
So tired of working for nothing
16
Just tired of being my wife
17
She took my one ray of sunshine
18
She took my pride and my joy
19
She took my reason for living
20
She took my small baby boy
21
But this time, Lord you gave me a mountain
22
A mountain you know I may never climb
23
It isn't just a hill any longer
24
You gave me a mountain this time
