The journey...

So I'm not a fan, by any stretch of the imagination of Mi.ley, but her new song The Climb came on the radio today and something kept me from changing the channel. It took me a couple seconds to get over her whining, no talent voice (sorry if there are any fans out there, but seriously, I can sing better than that. And that's not saying much!) but I was caught up listening to the words and feeling inspired! Here are the lyrics. Please don't judge me, I will again stress it's not the SINGER I am complimenting, it's the lyrics that have touched me.

I can almost see it
That dream I’m dreaming but
There’s a voice inside my head sayin,
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
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to 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 they knock me down but
No I’m not breaking
The pain I’m knowing
But these are the moments that
I’m going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on,

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to 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 going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to 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 the faith baby
It’s all about
It’s all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith

Yep...Keep MY faith! Got it. Thanks God!

Ha ha! Inspiration comes from surprising places. the question is if she had enough brains to write that herself. Anyways, glad it helped you. BTW, I was at a wedding where they played one of her songs and all of the young girls rushed out to the dance floor and were totally going crazy. Reminded me of us. Got some tears in my eyes. Looking forward to M squared's wedding :-)
