Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Step by step, I've come closer to reaching the top

Every step must be placed so that I don't fall off

Looking down to see 'bout how much higher I am

Another cool wind comes through, brushes my skin

The harder I push, the tension does grow

I gather my thoughts the further and further I go

With some luck, I just might keep on climbing (Climbing)

So better to climb than to face a fall (To face a fall)

[Verse 2]

So high the climb (So high the climb)

I can't turn back now (Can't turn back now)

Must keep climbing up to the clouds

So high the climb (So high the climb)

I can't turn back now (Can't turn back now)

Must keep climbing up to the clouds

[Verse 3]

Oh, pulling myself up by a rope, I better my view, oh

The only thing in sight is what I must do

As I turned, I could see see myself falling, falling (Falling)

Which in return gave me strength for the climb (Strength for the climb)

[Verse 4]

So high the climb (So high the climb)

I can't turn back now (Can't turn back now)

Must keep climbing up to the clouds

So high the climb (So high the climb)

I can't turn back now (Can't turn back now)

Must keep climbing up and up to the clouds

[Verse 5]

Although many failed

I must now prevail with no question

Have no time to stop

Onward to the top of the mountain

Oh, and I, I can't turn back now

It's so very high, but I can't turn back now

If I keep it up, I'm gonna make it

I'm so very close, can't you see?

[Verse 6]

So high the climb (So high the climb)

I can't turn back now (Can't turn back now)

Must keep climbing up to the clouds

So high the climb (So high the climb)

I can't turn back now (Can't turn back now)

Must keep climbing up and up to the clouds

[Verse 7]

So high the climb (So high the climb)

I can't turn back now (Can't turn back now)

Must keep climbing up and up to the clouds

[Verse 8]

Getting closer, getting closer

Coming closer, getting closer

[Verse 9]

Looking back to

Looking back to you

Looking back to

Looking back to you

Looking back, back to

Looking back to you

Looking back to

[Verse 10]

To the top, to the top

To the top, to the top

To the top, to the top

To the top, to the top

[Verse 11]

Climb up to the top

To the top, to the top

To the top, to the top

To the top, to the top

[Verse 12]

Looking back to you

Looking back to you

Looking back, back to you
