I used to get so interested in songs when I was in my teens and early twenties. I would memorize the words, relate to them, and sing along with them so soulfully. But for the past decade or so, the music that is being made doesn't really affect me so much. I still sing along with the radio if the song is hooky enough, but I don't really care about the words or the artist. I don't know if it's that I've matured or that I just don't have the time or the concern for music that I once did. I'm sure it's pretty common for someone my age. ;)
But our neighbor gave The Hannah Montana Movie soundtrack to Melanie a few months ago and I am hooked on this song, The Climb. I love the sound of it and I love the lyrics. I belt it out when it comes on and sometimes even put the CD in when there's no kids in the car! I am really digging Miley Cyrus. I think she makes good music, has a great voice, and seems pretty well grounded, considering her current fame.
The Climb
Miley Cyrus
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 shaking,
But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high
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
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 gonna remember most
I've just gotta keep going, and
I gotta be strong
Just keep pushing on, but
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
It's the climb
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
It's the climb
Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep faith baby
It's all about, it's all about
The climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, whoa
