Story Behind The Song

I wrote this song in a dorm room in the wee hours of the morning as a way of encouraging myself in the face of losing my father and amidst the loneliness of being far from my family.

Lyrics

gotta climb your mountains
gotta keep on moving on now do it
trials and tribulations
fail
to bring you down
gotta keep holding on
gotta climb your mountains
now do it
make your heaven or hell

don't be discouraged don't hang your head down
you gotta keep movin on
just rest your head on my shoulders and let me
let me carry you through

gotta climb your mountains
gotta keep on moving on now do it
trials and tribulations
fail
to bring you down
gotta keep holding on
gotta climb your mountains
now do it
make your heaven or hell

you've fallen once before
and that just made you stronger
you just kept movin on
don't lose your courage
don't be so scared
you gotta persevere

gotta climb your mountains
gotta keep on moving on now do it
trials and tribulations
fail
to bring you down
gotta keep holding on
gotta climb your mountains
now do it
make your heaven or hell

i never told you bout this story of mine
a man saved my life
he gave me something that money can't buy
he gave me pride and courage

gotta climb your mountains
gotta keep on moving on now do it
trials and tribulations
fail
to bring you down
gotta keep holding on
gotta climb your mountains
now do it
make your heaven or hell

we make the simple choices
such seemingly simple choices

gotta climb your mountains
gotta keep on moving on now do it
trials and tribulations
fail
to bring you down
gotta keep holding on
gotta climb your mountains
now do it
make your heaven or hell
