Story Behind The Song

Overcoming depression

Lyrics

Climbing


Down among the thorns which
grow along the roadside;
walking slowly forwards,
trying to see the bright side.

I want to get higher and higher with you
I need your help to get me through.

Looking up and skywards,
raising up my spirits.
Trying to climb the mountain;
sometimes its hard to see at all.

I want to get higher and higher with you,
I need your help to get me through.

Days when darkness beckons;
Life seems hard and dreary.
I glimpse a road that leads me
to a place of melody.

I want to get higher and higher with you,
to get me through it all.

Sometimes I try to smile when
my eyes shed tears in silence.
I look to see the goodness
around me giving me the strength to:

Climb much higher and higher with you;
Listening to the music.

Sometimes i'm tired and weary,
like old men's faces looking at me.
But inside lies a secret,
I can always cast the blues away.

I want to climb higher and higher with you,
You'll get me through it all.

So, I always try to remember,
just what it is i'm doing.
I'm climbing up the mountain,
to get a clearer view of you.

I want to get higher and higher with you
Higher and higher and higher with you.
