The Climb

I love music, but don't ask me who sang the song I'm belting out (usually with the wrong words). I don't usually go for the cheesy hit of the month like "Butterfly Kisses," but I've been captured by, of all things, a Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus song.

For New Year's Eve the past several years, we have watched a movie with the girls and had our own celebration at home. Last night, we watched The Hannah Montana Movie (which we also saw together in the theater a few months ago). I was totally suprised by the movie the first time I saw it and found myself moved again by it. Such a great story for my kids to see. It also makes me crave that simple life without the craziness of running around all the time.

But, as much as I loved the entire movie, the thing that moved me the most last night was the song "The Climb." This one just spoke to me after such a hard year (ending with a broken phone, camera and car in the last week). I'm also not one for a theme song, but I'm breaking tradition and naming this as my theme song this year.
Here are the words:

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 I'm gonna 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 might knock me down but
No I'm not breaking
I may not know it
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, cause

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 I'm gonna 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 (yeah)

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 (yeah yeah ea ea)

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

Whoa a oh oh
