I told her I would do it, If that would be her will
With every breath I'd do my best that promise to fulfill
I promised if she'd plant it that they would surely come
And populate her garden and glow beneath her sun

A mansion to  her glory, an altar to above,
I'd build it for her gladly if she would share her love
I'd sacrifice my body and purify my soul,
I'd offer up to her my song and from the earth below,
They'd rise up through the ashes and reach up to  her grace
A world of smiling faces would live there on her face.

But if I'd seen  the mountain that I would have to climb,
I could not have held the vision within my doubting mind.
I never would have started, I could not have begun,
This mountain's surely just too big and I am only one.

It rises high into the clouds, Its  peak I cannot see
It disappears up in the sky and down into the sea
It moves ahead before me, beyond my reaching  grasp
With every gasping breath I say 'this one could be the last!

A little further up ahead I know it can't be far
If I can pass the moon  I'm sure I'll reach the star
My foot is not so sure and now the air is getting thin,
I'll rest a while and dream of her and then begin again

She laid with me when I was sick  and then she  made me strong
She was the one who held me when she knew that I was wrong
She stood with me when I fell through that chasm deep within
That nearly took my very soul and wouldn't let her in.

I knew if I could hold her fast it wouldn't  be too long
Before I'd stand there by her side and sing her my new song
A song of love and hope and peace, my song the air would fill
And rise up to her  holy place,  if that would be her will.
