The Climb
Sundance Head Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can almost see it
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'
But I, I gotta keep tryin'
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
It ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
Oh, 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
And I may not know it,
But these are the moments
That I'm gonna remember most
I just gotta keep goin',

And I, I gotta be strong
Just keep on 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
It ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
Oh, it's the climb

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometime's I'm gonna have to lose
It ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
Oh, it's the climb





Oh, it's the climb
