The Climb Lyrics

Closed shades but sunlight breaks

Red becomes my vision

Try to remember what I dreamt

But instead I wake in this prison

You do the same routine

Do what everyone is doing

Working five days a week

Just to turn around and go again

Seems when you get ahead

A boil comes to the surface

The toll your body takes

Is it really worth this

For the climb…

For the climb…

Your friends around you leave

Climbing social ladders

Barely have the time to breath

To grow their checkbooks fatter

You never miss a day

Always in before the bell rung

When will be the day

You cut loose and have a little fun

You are the old head now

A nurse shark in this ocean

They'll keep you where you are

And dangle fake promotions

For the climb…

For the climb…

It seems that all the breaks are given to their someones

It always seems to happen but never will for one of us

With every step you take it seems they're always two ahead

They'll work you till you break and turn it into what you dread

With nothing left to lose you focus everything you do

Divide into yourself the ending is only for you

For the climb…

For the climb…

For the climb…

For the climb…

For the climb…

For the climb…

For the climb…

For the climb…
