The Climb Lyrics
[Verse 1: Jessi Alexander]
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 shaken
[Pre-Chorus: Jessi Alexander]
But I gotta keep trying
I gotta keep my head held high
[Chorus: Jessi Alexander & Morgan Stapleton]
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, yeah
It's the climb
[Verse 2: Morgan Stapleton]
These prayers I'm praying
Chances I'm taking
Sometimes sing 'em all in vain, but
No, they're not wasted
And I may not know it
But these are the moments, yeah
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going
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 shaken
[Pre-Chorus: Jessi Alexander]
But I gotta keep trying
I gotta keep my head held high
[Chorus: Jessi Alexander & Morgan Stapleton]
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, yeah
It's the climb
[Verse 2: Morgan Stapleton]
These prayers I'm praying
Chances I'm taking
Sometimes sing 'em all in vain, but
No, they're not wasted
And I may not know it
But these are the moments, yeah
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going
[Pre-Chorus 2: Morgan Stapleton & Chris Stapleton, Morgan Stapleton, Chris Stapleton]
And I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on 'cause (Just keep pushing on)
[Chorus: Morgan Stapleton, Chris Stapleton & Jessi Alexander]
There's always gonna be another mountain
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, yeah
It's the climb
Ooh, yeah
[Chorus: Jessi Alexander, Morgan Stapleton, Chris Stapleton & Jessi Alexander, Chris Stapleton]
There's always gonna be another mountain
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, yeah
It's the climb (It's the climb)
Yeah, it's the climb
Oh, yes, it is
[Outro: Jessi Alexander, Morgan Stapleton & Jessi Alexander, Chris Stapleton]
Sometimes, you gotta keep on moving
Keep climbing
You gotta keep the faith, oh yeah (Oh, you gotta keep the faith)
(Oh, oh)
(Oh, oh)
And I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on 'cause (Just keep pushing on)
[Chorus: Morgan Stapleton, Chris Stapleton & Jessi Alexander]
There's always gonna be another mountain
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, yeah
It's the climb
Ooh, yeah
[Chorus: Jessi Alexander, Morgan Stapleton, Chris Stapleton & Jessi Alexander, Chris Stapleton]
There's always gonna be another mountain
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, yeah
It's the climb (It's the climb)
Yeah, it's the climb
Oh, yes, it is
[Outro: Jessi Alexander, Morgan Stapleton & Jessi Alexander, Chris Stapleton]

What did Jessi Alexander say about "The Climb"?
Genius Answer
It’s funny, though … I just remember that particular morning, I didn’t have an idea. I had nothing. You get so distracted in the car. Now we have phones, and the radio and whatnot. But I was like, “I’m not going to do any of that because I need an idea. God, please send me an idea.” It was really simple. I would love to find that original tape, but it wasn’t much. It was just the chorus' kind of climbing melody … The word that kept coming to me was maybe “classic.” There was something about the song, to the point where I was thinking, “Am I (re-writing) something? Is this ‘(Love Lift Us) Up Where We Belong?’ What is this song?”
