The Climb

I so love this song. I'm not a Miley fan so it must be the song itself. Her quality voice is a great factor, yes, but it's the lyrics that really gets to me. Overall song impact? I can listen to it over and over again, all day. Ah, it's the themesong of my life these days.

The Climb

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 taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But 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 got to be strong
Just keep pushing on

And this gets me thinking: what is life without music? Without something to sway your hips to, something to usher you to sleep, something to remind you of a memory, something to convey a message with, something to celebrate with, and in this case, something to comfort or inspire in trying times? Unimaginable.
