For this week’s OpenMic, the theme is Breakaway and I picked The Climb by Miley Cyrus. I feel like this song just makes sense for this theme because honestly, there are times when life just feels like one big struggle.
Like, there have been moments where I’ve felt like okay, this is it, I’m stuck, like there are just too many mountains and obstacles and no matter how hard I try, I’m not moving. And in those moments, it’s so easy to feel like what’s the point? Like am I even getting anywhere? And I know I’m not the only one who has felt that way.
But one thing about life is that even when it feels like nothing is changing, as long as you keep pushing, you’re still moving. You might not see it immediately but progress is happening. And that’s why I love this song so much, it’s such a reminder that the journey itself is important. The struggles, the setbacks, the slow progress, it’s all part of it.
So yeah, I really wanted to sing this song for this theme. Hope you enjoy my take on it!
Lyrics
I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
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, I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna 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 gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going
And I, I gotta be strong
Just keep pushing on, 'cause
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna 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 gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes you're gonna 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
Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep your faith, keep your faith
Whoa
