Everybody's got a mountain to climb   This road we travel gets a little tough sometimes   Sometimes I know you feel like you can't go on   Need somebody help you get back home   Need a friend to help you find your way home      Reverend Pearly Brown say there's peace out on the water at night   Big sun going down, Lord, it's a pretty sight   Red and blue across the water makes a wonderful song   Listen to it all night long      Everybody's got a mountain to climb   Don't be discouraged when the sun don't shine   Gotta keep on pulling, you gotta keep on tryin'   Everybody's got a mountain to climb   Everybody's got a mountain to climb      Who'd cross the face of a little smilin' child?   Take away the loser's one last chance?   Who wouldn't linger down by the old river for a while?   You know the whole world loves you when you're dancin'      So, hey, let me tell you what I'm talkin' about   You can't go around with your lip stuck out   Life ain't all good but it sure ain't bad   Anyway it's the best old life I ever had      Everybody's got a mountain to climb   Don't be discouraged when the sun don't shine   Gotta keep on pulling, you gotta keep on tryin'   Everybody's got a mountain to climb      Everybody's got a mountain to climb   Don't be discouraged when the sun don't shine   Gotta keep on pulling, you gotta keep on tryin'   Everybody's got a mountain to climb
