You Gave Me a Mountain - Live at the Honolulu International Center

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
 You gave me a mountain this time
 You gave me a mountain this time
