Every day I'm just survivin' Keep climbin' the mountain Even when I feel like dyin' Keep climbin' the mountain Another night I'm barely holdin' on One step away from being dead and gone Am I alive to die another day? Is this life that I've been livin' All that's meant for me? Every day I'm just survivin' Keep climbin' the mountain Even when I feel like dyin' Keep climbin' the mountain Every time I think I'm over it I wake up in the bottom of it all again I'm still survivin', keep climbin' Keep climbin' the mountain The higher I go, the harder I fall So I don't look down, I don't look back at all And when I wish it all would turn to black I try to see the light and push the darkness back Every day I'm just survivin' Keep climbin' the mountain Even when I feel like dyin' Keep climbin' the mountain Every time I think I'm over it I wake up in the bottom of it all again I'm still survivin', I keep climbin' Keep climbin' the mountain So If I'm numb, already too far gone And If I feel a pulsin', I can carry on When I'm lost and wanna fade away I tell myself to live to die another day, yeah Every day I'm just survivin' Keep climbin' the mountain Even when I feel like dyin' Keep climbin' the mountain Every time I think I'm over it I wake up in the bottom of it all again I'm still alive and keep climbin' Keep climbin' the mountain, the mountain
