The Climb lyrics
Songwriters: Alexander, J; Mabe, J;
I can almost see it
That dream I am 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 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 a 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 got to 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 a 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
Somebody's 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!

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

Brielle Blessing

A beautiful baby....

Gifts Ideas From the Heart

Write up a menu for a gourmet meal and specify the date you'll cook it.

Tie a ribbon around a magazine and attach a gift tag saying "subscription to come.

Coupon for beauty salon (hair cut/ perm.. etc)

Snip an item from a catalog, glue onto a greeting card and write "it's on its way" or cut out a store logo and offer a gift certificate to come in the mail.

Hire a friend a maid for the day.

Make an apron using a hand terry cloth towel. Use a ribbon or fabric for the waistband, matching potholders for the pockets.

Mugs hold packages of instant soups or hot chocolate. Tie with a bow.

Give loves of bread or fruitcakes on top of a bread board that is big enough to hold the food. Wrap the creation in heavy cellophne and tie with a ribbon.

Give cookies in a baskets lined with doilies threaded with gross grain ribbon. Wrap with cellephane .

Small plastic wrapped loaves of bread look even more tantilizing when wrapped in colorful fabric. Add ribbon

For jams and jellies, look for decorative jars with tight fitting lids.

Thoughts for a year... print on small cards and put together on a ring.
