Lyrics

Climbing
Climbing
Climbing
Keep movin' up
Don't you ever stop
Whatever it is
Take it to the top
Keep movin' up
Don't you ever stop
Whatever it is
Take it to the top
The world's out there waiting
And it's yours for the taking
So come on, get up, it's time to go
Stop hesitating and anticipating
To the top, that's your mark
Get ready, set, go
So let's go take it to the top, don't stop
'Cause we'll be movin', yeah
You can make it to the top, don't stop
We'll be groovin'
We're gonna reach that higher ground yeah
(Take it on up, take it on up)
A little higher (Higher)
(Take it on up, take it on up)
We will climb together
(Take it on up, take it on up)
To your highest dreams (Higher)
(Take it on up, take it on up)
So let's go to the top
Climbing
Climbing
Climbing
Keep movin' up
Don't you ever stop
Whatever it is
Take it to the top
Keep movin' up
Don't you ever stop
Whatever it is
Take it to the top
You can do what you want to
In your heart it will come through
If you reach for the stars
You can go that far
Stop hesitating and anticipating
To the top, that's your mark
Get ready, set, go
So let's go take it to the top, don't stop
'Cause we'll be movin', yeah
You can make it to the top, don't stop
And we'll be groovin'
We will reach that higher ground, baby
I can feel it in my bones
So come along, yeah
(Take it on up, take it on up)
A little higher (Higher) Yeah
(Take it on up, take it on up)
We will climb together
(Take it on up, take it on up)
To your highest dreams (Higher)
(Take it on up, take it on up)
So let's go to the top
Climbing

You're bound to reach that higher ground
You can make it to the top, don't stop
So everybody keep on movin' yeah
Let's go take it to the top, don't stop
The world's out there waiting for you baby

Just keep on climbing, keep on climbing
