Intro — guitar skank / bass rolls in
Yeah, yeah…
Morning sun coming through my window,
New day calling my name.
Yesterday gone…
So we rise again.
Verse 1
Feet on the ground with the sunrise shining,
Got another chance, so I'm feeling fine.
Road gets rough but the road keeps winding,
I ain't gonna worry 'bout the finish line.
I've had days when the rain came pouring,
I've had nights when I lost my way.
But the beautiful thing about every morning—
We get another day.
Pre-Chorus
So breathe it in,
Let the old weight go.
Life ain't always easy—
But it's good for the soul.
Chorus
There's joy in the climb,
Put a little sunshine in your mind.
Keep your heart wide open,
Leave your worries behind.
Every hill, every mile,
Every turn is part of the ride.
So put your hands to the sky—
There's joy in the climb!
Whoa-oh-oh,
We're feeling alive!
Whoa-oh-oh,
There's joy in the climb!
Verse 2
Some chase gold, some chase tomorrow,
Some spend life trying to get somewhere.
But I found peace in the simple moments—
Good people and a little fresh air.
I don't need everything to be perfect,
Don't need every dream today.
Give me love, give me hope, give me something worth working for—
And I'll find my way.
Pre-Chorus
Take it slow,
Let your heartbeat know,
Every little step forward—
That's how we grow.
Chorus
There's joy in the climb,
Put a little sunshine in your mind.
Keep your heart wide open,
Leave your worries behind.
Every hill, every mile,
Every turn is part of the ride.
So put your hands to the sky—
There's joy in the climb!
Whoa-oh-oh,
We're feeling alive!
Whoa-oh-oh,
There's joy in the climb!
Reggae Breakdown — bass & percussion
One step…
Keep moving.
One dream…
Keep believing.
One heart…
Keep loving.
One life…
KEEP LIVING!
Hey!
Don't let tomorrow
Steal away today.
You've got a little more road—
So dance along the way!
Bridge — horns enter / music builds
If the rain comes down—
Let it fall!
If the mountain's high—
Stand tall!
If you lose your way—
That's alright!
There's another sunrise
Coming with the morning light.
We weren't made
Just to survive.
We were made to feel alive!
Instrumental — reggae guitar / horn solo
(Bright guitar melody answered by horns)
Hey! Hey!
Come on now!
Final Chorus — full band / stacked harmonies
THERE'S JOY IN THE CLIMB!
Put a little sunshine in your mind.
Keep your heart wide open,
Leave those heavy days behind.
Every scar tells a story,
Every mountain gives you another view.
And when the road gets hard—
Let the light come shining through!
Whoa-oh-oh,
We're feeling alive!
Whoa-oh-oh,
What a beautiful ride!
Whoa-oh-oh,
Hands to the sky!
We've got one life—
SO LET'S LIVE IT RIGHT!
Final Refrain — call and response

No need to race.
No need to run.
Just keep walk
