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 
you're little hands wrapped around my finger
and, it's so quiet in the world tonight
you're little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming
so, i tuck you in
turn on your favorite night light
to you, everything's funny
you got nothing to regret
i'd give all i had, honey
if you could stay like that
oh, darling don't you ever grow up
don't you ever grow up
just stay this little
oh, darling don't you ever grow up
don't you ever grow up
it can stay this simple
i won't let nobody hurt you, won't let no one break your heart
and no one will desert you
just try to never grow up, and never grow up
you're in the car on the way to the movies
and, you're mortified
you're mom's dropping you off
at, fourteen there's just so much you can't do
and you can't wait to move out someday and call your own shots
but, don't make her drop you off around the block
remember that she's getting older too
and don't lose the way that you dance around in your pj's getting ready for school
oh, darling don't you ever grow up
don't you ever grow up
just stay this little
oh, darling don't you ever grow up
don't you ever grow up
it can stay this simple
and no one's ever burned you
nothing's ever left you scarred
and even though you want to
just try to never grow up
take pictures in your mind of your childhood room
memorize what it sounded like when your dad get's home
remember the footsteps, remember the words said
and all you're little brothers favorite songs
i just realized everything i had is someday gonna be gone
so, here i am in my new apartment
in a big city, they just dropped me off
it's so much colder than i thought it would be
so, i tucked myself in and turned my night light on
wish i'd never grown up
i wish i'd never grown up
oh, i don't wanna grow up
wish i'd never grown up
could still be little
oh, i don't wanna grow up
wish i'd never grown up
it could still be simple
oh, darling don't you ever grow up
don't you ever grow up
just stay this little
oh, darling don't you ever grow up
don't you ever grow up
it can stay this simple
won't let nobody hurt you
won't let no one break your heart
and even you want to
please, try to never grow up
oh, whoa
don't you ever grow up
oh, whoa
never grow up
just never grow up
