Climb This Mountain

Finalist – Parkinsong 2026

Climb This Mountain

He had a hard grip on the reins
As he led me up the Rocky Mountains
Singing all the way
Na na na na na na

My daddy never was afraid
He never lost his balance
Never let me stray
Na na na na na na

Pop Then one night
When he and I were drinkin‘
His hands they started shakin‘
And I knew he would never be the same
And I promised him that I would take the reigns

We’ll climb this mountain
Just like we used to
We’ll cross the river
This time I’ll pull you through
Though life is rocky And your grip is slippin‘
We’ll climb this mountain
We’ll climb this mountain

We’ve had some hard years
But some good days
And I hold on tight
To every word that he says
Thought we lost him once or twice
But somehow he comes back to life
Even though it’s getting harder to fight

We’ll climb this mountain
Just like we used to
We’ll cross the river
This time I’ll pull you through
Though life is rocky
And your grip is slippin‘
We’ll climb this mountain

Even if the earth is shaking
Under your feet
Trying to knock you to the ground
I’ll be making sure you’re steady
Hold on to me
You can never keep a good man down

INSTRUMENTAL

We’ll climb this mountain
Just like we used to
We’ll cross the river
And this time I’ll pull you through
Though life is rocky And your grip is slippin‘
We’ll climb this mountain
We’ll climb this mountain

And I sing for him
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
