Lyrics

We’re scaling life’s peaks, yeah, listen up
Each step’s a choice, each grip’s a must
This ain’t about the hustle, it’s about the climb
Let’s break it down, make up your mind

Life’s a mountain range, peaks high and low
Being busy ain’t virtue, that’s just for show
You’re scrambling hard, but in the right place?
Clear the fog from your path, find the right face
Climbing through mist, no real progress made
Focus on your route, don’t let purpose fade
It’s not about grind or running too thin
It’s about the path and the strength within

Choose your mountain, don’t chase any peak
Balance ain’t constant, stability you seek
Choose your mountain, where purpose aligns
The journey counts, not just finish lines

Balance is a myth, like standing on shale
Gotta shift your weight on that rocky trail
Each step is different, the shift just comes
But at the top, real balance is won
A true climber knows when to shift and hold
Life’s about adapting, not just being bold
The summit ain’t the end, it’s the journey elite
Effectiveness is nothing on the wrong creek

Choose your mountain, don’t chase any peak
Balance ain’t constant, stability you seek
Choose your mountain, where purpose aligns
The journey counts, not just finish lines

You could be the fastest, scaling any wall
But wrong mountain means you’ve gained nothing at all
Find your true north, the peak that fits your soul
It’s the climb itself that’s the ultimate goal
So adjust your harness, focus on each step
Live with intention, earn every breath
You’ll find real meaning reaching for the sky
It’s not about the summit when you learn to fly

Choose your mountain, don’t chase any peak
Balance ain’t constant, stability you seek
Choose your mountain, where purpose aligns
The journey counts, not just finish lines

“Success ain’t happiness,” Schweitzer dropped that gem
It’s the reverse, flip the words, and then
Happiness is success, you can find that prize.
Found in the struggle, under open skies.

Remember this, climber, as you make your ascent
Life’s a range of challenges, choose how they’re spent
The view from the top is just a fleeting sight
It’s the climb that shapes you, keep your vision right.

Choose your mountain, don’t chase any peak
Balance ain’t constant, stability you seek
Choose your mountain, where purpose aligns
The journey counts, not just finish lines

You could be the fastest, scaling any wall
But wrong mountain means you’ve gained nothing at all
Find your true north, the peak that fits your soul
It’s the climb itself that’s the ultimate goal
So adjust your harness, focus on each step
Live with intention, earn every breath
You’ll find real meaning reaching for the sky
It’s not about the summit when you learn to fly

Choose your mountain, don’t chase any peak
Balance ain’t constant, stability you seek
Choose your mountain, where purpose aligns
The journey counts, not just finish lines

“Success ain’t happiness,” Schweitzer dropped that gem
It’s the reverse, flip the words, and then
Happiness is success, you can find that prize.
Found in the struggle, under open skies.

Remember this, climber, as you make your ascent
Life’s a range of challenges, choose how they’re spent
The view from the top is just a fleeting sight
It’s the climb that shapes you, keep your vision right.
