Steve Acho 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 takin'
Every move I make
Feels lost with no direction,
My faith is shakin′
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 waitin' 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 goin',
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 waitin' 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
Somebody's gonna have to lose
Ain′t about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waitin′ on the other side
It′s the climb
Yeah, yeah yeah
Keep on movin'
Keep climbin′
Keep the faith baby
It's all about, it′s all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, whoa, whoa, oh.
