The Climb Lyrics

I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreamin' but
There's a voice inside my head sayin'
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
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

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 facin'
The chances I'm takin'
Sometimes might knock me down but
No, I'm not breakin'

And 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 pushin' on 'cause

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 waitin' on the other side
It's the climb
Yeah, yeah

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, yeah, yeah

Keep on movin'
Keep climbin'
Keep the faith
Baby, yeah

It's all about
It's all about the climb

Keep the faith
Keep your faith
Woah, woah

This is a great song, even though I'm not a Miley/Hannah Montana fan...initially, I thought it was by someone else because I didn't recognize her voice at first.

I think this song basically speaks about wanting to reach our hopes & dreams in life. Although we may face obstacles in life, it's all about how we learn from our experiences & the good life skills we can take from them. In conclusion, as long as we never give up faith, we will reach our goals.

My Interpretation

txdreamer, your comment mean A LOT to me. Since now I understand the song, my viewpoint of life changed a lot. Whatever I do, I always do my best. In the end, winning or losing doesn't matter, because it is all about the climb, "about how we learn from our experiences & the good life skills we can take from them".

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I cried during this part in the Hannah Montana movie. I love that movie and this song. They are both amazing.

I almost bailled my head off at that part! Trust me I was obsessed with Hannah Montana I even have her bed sheets!

I cant believe all of you out there who think that Miley actually wrote this song... LMAO.
It is written by: Jessi Alexander and Jon Mabe Shows how naive her fans are.

My Opinion

I can\'t believe you didn\'t know that was written by her and song by her so how much you pay attention shows how naive you you are duh go back to school learn your music

Life is a journey, not a destination.

Lol, that's funny. Everyone has commented on how much they love it, but no one except txdreamer commented on what they think it means?

Anyway @txdreamer; I totally agree with you there. It's not about what you achieve as much as it is about the journey there, and the experiences you learn along the way. Like, climbing a ladder; you'll be happy once you're at the top but climbing it and what you've gone through means more and makes you appreciate it more.

It's funny cause this song is totally how me and my boyfriend are. We're in a LDR and it's just like, having the distance between us and getting through that makes it more important, because we appreciate each other a lot more and we're a lot stronger than most couples because of it.

Anyway, yeah, Miley's songs are mostly cheesy. But they're written for mainly "Hannah Montana" fans right? Which vary probably from around 5/6 - 10/11. My 14 year old sister loves her and I think aside from the fact all those photos got leaked, she is kind of a little bit decent. At least she isn't like Jamie Lynn Spears and flashing her pregnancy everywhere.

This song is vague enough for it to have many meanings behind it. Since it is in the Hannah Montana movie, I'm sure it's about wanting to reach your dreams and having to face all the obstacles in the way and all the doubts from other people. But when I first heard it, I didn't know it was Miley singing it, so I thought that it could be about someone who is trying to get over a drug addiction. It makes sense when you read the lyrics. That person is trying to keep going on their journey and face all the struggles on the way. When I figured out that it was Miley singing it, I knew it couldn't be about that. Anyway, I am absolutely in love with this song, and though I'm not a total Miley lover, I have to give her props on this song because it's very beautiful.

My Interpretation

I agree with you, this song is about taking a journey and capturing a dream. learns from thier mistakes etc

I am a full-time nursing student, and working a full-time job as a police dispatcher, and a mother of 2 wonderful sons, and a wife. I quit school at 15, because I got pregnant. When I heard this song, it felt like it was being sung to me. The song gives me motivation when it gets to be overwhelming and seems pointless. I think the song means your dreams are possible to reach, but there is always going to be doubt and fear inside us. There is going to be good times and bad times, but we need to be strong and keep our faith, as we keep moving forward. No matter how bad it may seem or what we may be leaving behind, or what's waiting on us at the top. It's the steps we took, the choices me made, and the lessons we learned about ourself along the way that we will remember the most ! <333333333

I would listen to Miley if she went in this direction. This is a very powerful song with good lyrics, great vocals, and a good instrumental. She needs to break the chain of her disney hype

Totally agree with you! Hi- 5!
