There's a mountain in the distance I can see And that mountain top is where I want to be 'Cause I'm down here below with at least a million miles to go I get a little closer everyday it's uphill all the way Uphill all the way, uphill all the way No, I ain't looking back at all 'cause if I do I'll surely fall Oh, I just keep on moving night and day uphill all the way The day you're born is the day that you depart The only map you're given is your heart No matter where you turn every bridge you cross you burn And if you ask directions folks just say it's uphill all the way Uphill all the way It doesn't matter where you start the road is just as long It's not the destination it's the journey makes you strong Uphill all the way Uphill all the way uphill all the way Uphill all the way uphill all the way
