Everybody`s got a mountain to climb,
This road we travel gets a little tough sometimes,
Sometimes I know you feel like you can`t go on,
Need somebody help you get back home,
Need a friend to help you find your way home.
Reverend Pearly Brown say there`s peace out on the water at night,
Big sun going down, Lord it`s a pretty sight,
Red and blue across the water makes a wonderful song,
Listen to it all night long.
Everybody`s got a mountain to climb,
Don`t be discouraged when the sun don`t shine,
Gotta keep on pulling, you gotta keep on tryin`,
Everybody`s got a mountain to climb,
Everybody`s got a mountain to climb.
Who`d cross the face of a little smilin` child?,
Take away the loser`s one last chance?,
Who wouldn`t linger down by the old river for a while?
You know the whole world loves you when you`re dancin`.
So, hey let me tell you what I`m talkin` about,
You can`t go around with your lip stuck out.
Life ain`t all good but it sure ain`t bad,
Anyway it`s the best old life I ever had.
Everybody`s got a mountain to climb,
Don`t be discouraged when the sun don`t shine,
Gotta keep on pulling, you gotta keep on tryin`,
Everybody`s got a mountain to climb.
Everybody`s got a mountain to climb,
Don`t be discouraged when the sun don`t shine,
Gotta keep on pulling, you gotta keep on tryin`,
Everybody`s got a mountain to climb.
