The Climb
Miley Cyrus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That dream I'm dreaming, but
There's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"
Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking
But I, I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb
The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down, but
No, I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going
And I, I gotta be strong
Just keep pushing on, 'cause
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb
(Yeah)
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes you're gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb (yeah-yeah-yeah)
Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about
It's all about
The climb
Keep your faith
Keep your faith
Whoa-oh

StoryTime : I remember being a teenager/young adult around 18-19 years oldâŠlistening to this song while visiting my sister in Germany (we are Greek/from Greece, she was studying abroad!)âŠ
it was nighttime already & I just felt so stuck and so far away from my dreams!!!
I remember feeling a sense of urgency and doubt creeping up on me about me potentiallyâŠNOT being able to ever fulfill my dreams, wishes and goals in lifeâŠ
mostly due to growing up feeling mostly invisible to my familyâŠand lacking proper supportâŠand just feeling so suffocated & alone (the black sheep/creative/artistic soul in a family of the exact opposite!)âŠ
Always felt like I had so much to offer and do with my art but I never had an outlet to funnel creativity and develop my skillsâŠ
and it was making me feel like I had already failed in life, before I ever got the chance to start pursuing anything!!!
Basically I was so depressed and this song was making me cry from such a deep part of my Soul/Spirit!!!
It felt like the only thing I could cling on and breathe life back into me, was art made by others, (far luckier & more supported than me, like MileyâŠ) wishing I could one day create something of pure essence & of extreme value that gave people hope & strength, exactly how this song was instilling in me!
Little Did I knowâŠhow much my life would unfold for the better, moving to the USâŠonly 2 years later in 2011âŠat age 22 years old & making a LOT of my dreams come true!!!
Iâm 34 nowâŠand though Iâve had some amazing creative experiences and expressions, nothing has ever come close to creating something remotely inspiring like this songâŠ
But Iâm feeling much better and more hopeful about the future and my creativity, than ever before!
The journey and the climb goes onâŠand here I am, listening to this song againâŠreminded of how far ive comeâŠwith so many ways to go!!!
Stay the path!
Keep the Faith!
Keep MovingâŠ
Keep ClimbingâŠ
These are all timeless, potent words of wisdom that we could all listen to in times of need!
If only Miley would write more songs like this one!
Grateful for her voice & artistry nonetheless!!!
