Entry: The Climb Friday, May 29, 2009



This song has been on repeat mode in my ipod and itunes.


I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming but
There's a voice inside my head sayin,
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
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always going to 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 going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on, cause

There's always going to 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 (yeah)

There's always going to 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 (yeah yeah ea ea)

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It's all about
It's all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith


i love how the song describes the fact that challenges are always gonna come our way - "There's always gonna be another mountain, i'm always gonna wanna make it move."

It's always tough - "Always gonna be an uphill battle".

Sometimes we fail - "Sometimes i'm gonna have to lose"

i especially love the words of the 2nd verse - "the struggles i'm facing, the chances i'm taking, sometimes might knock me down but, no i'm not breaking". Life situations may seem like they're out to get us and make us fall. But even when we fall, we're not gonna be broken by what happened.

Most important of all, it's not the end of the journey we'll remember the most. It's the journey itself - "i may not know it, but these are the moments that i'm gonna remember most."

The song reminds me of graduation. After i graduate, what are the memories that will stick with me? The glorious graduation ceremony? Sure, i'll remember that. But what i'll remember even more is the journey i had to take to get to the ceremony. The struggles, the frustrations, the joy, the laughter.

Just as the song is on repeat mode in my ipod, life challenges are seemingly on repeat mode too.

In any life situation, "it ain't about how fast i get there, it ain't about what's waiting on the other side. It's the climb".
