everybody´s got a mountain to climb,
this road we travel gets a little tough sometimes,
sometimes i know you feel like you can´t go on,
need somebody help you get back home,
need a friend to help you find your way home.
reverend pearly brown say there´s peace out on the water at night,
big sun going down, lord it´s a pretty sight,
red and blue across the water makes a wonderful song,
listen to it all night long.
everybody´s got a mountain to climb,
don´t be discouraged when the sun don´t shine,
gotta keep on pulling, you gotta keep on tryin´,
everybody´s got a mountain to climb,
everybody´s got a mountain to climb.
who´d cross the face of a little smilin´ child?,
take away the loser´s one last chance?,
who wouldn´t linger down by the old river for a while?
you know the whole world loves you when you´re dancin´.
so, hey let me tell you what i´m talkin´ about,
you can´t go around with your lip stuck out.
life ain´t all good but it sure ain´t bad,
anyway it´s the best old life i ever had.
everybody´s got a mountain to climb,
don´t be discouraged when the sun don´t shine,
gotta keep on pulling, you gotta keep on tryin´,
everybody´s got a mountain to climb.
everybody´s got a mountain to climb,
don´t be discouraged when the sun don´t shine,
gotta keep on pulling, you gotta keep on tryin´,
everybody´s got a mountain to climb.
