We can make it, get on high

I want to come up there with you right now
And reach the stormy top
I want to hold on tight with all my might
And pray you'll never stop

We can make it, if we try
We can make it, touch the sky
We can make it, if we try
We can make it, get on high

Try me I know we can make it
I know if we try
Try me I know we can make it
I know if we try...
