You Gave Me A Mountain

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

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

My woman got tired of 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

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

Tu Me Diste Una Montaña

Nacido en el calor del desierto
Mi madre murió dándome la vida
Privado del amor de un padre
Culpado por la perdida de su esposa
Sabes señor he estado en una prisión
Por algo que nunca he hecho
Ha sido una colina tras otra
Las he escalado a todas

Pero es tiempo, señor tu me diste una montaña
Una montaña que tu sabes nunca la escalare
Ya no es solo una colina
Me diste una montaña esta vez

Mi mujer tiene angustias
Cansado del lamento y la lucha
Tan cansado de trabajar para nada
Solo intento ser mi esposa
Ella tomo mi rayo de sol
Ella tomo mi orgullo y mi alegría
Ella tomo mi vivir
Ella tomo a mi pequeño niño

Pero es tiempo, señor tu me diste una montaña
Una montaña que tu sabes nunca la escalare
Ya no es solo una colina
Me diste una montaña esta vez
