The Climb
Vajen Van Den Bosch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"
But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high
There's always gonna be another mountain
Always gonna be a 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
And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a 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
