You gotta climb to scale the mountain You gotta climb to reach the top You gotta climb to see the splendor You gotta climb climb climb don't you stop verse 1 Well the path is steep where it leads upward The way is rough narrow too But every step brings you higher Until that mountain peak will come in view Refrain You gotta climb to scale the mountain You gotta climb to reach the top You gotta climb to see the splendor You gotta climb climb climb don't you stop verse 2 Don't you give up cause you're weary You can't expect an easy way Downward path leads to nowhere You gotta climb climb climb everyday Refrain You gotta climb to scale the mountain You gotta climb to reach the top You gotta climb to see the splendor You gotta climb climb climb don't you stop verse 3 When you arrive at top of your mountain You'll be glad that you struggled on If you have all your gold around you The struggle of the climb all gone Refrain You gotta climb to scale the mountain You gotta climb to reach the top You gotta climb to see the splendor You gotta climb climb climb don't you stop
