You Gave Me A Mountain
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
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
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
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
Me Diste Una Montaña
Nacido en el calor del desierto
Mi madre murió dándome vida
Privado del amor de un padre
Culpado por la pérdida de su esposa
Sabes Señor, he estado en prisión
Por algo que nunca hice
Ha sido una colina tras otra
Y las he escalado una por una
Pero esta vez Señor me diste una montaña,
Una montaña que sé que quizás nunca suba
Ya no es solo una colina
Me diste una montaña esta vez
Mi mujer se cansó de los desamores
Cansada del dolor y las luchas,
Tan cansada de trabajar por nada
Simplemente cansada de ser mi esposa
Se llevó mi único rayo de sol
Se llevó mi orgullo y mi alegría
Se llevó mi razón de vivir
Se llevó a mi pequeño hijo
Sí, pero esta vez Señor me diste una montaña,
Una montaña que quizás nunca suba
Ya no es una colina
Me diste una montaña esta vez
Sí Señor, me diste una montaña
¿No sabes?
Me diste una montaña esta vez
