lyrics

Well it is what it is
Said the man in the petrol station, putting in the gas
And there ain’t nothing better in this whole wide world
Than emptying a whisky glass
Cos nobody cares if you’re telling all your troubles
If you’re wounded all of the time
But when faced with a mountain, we climb
When faced with a mountain, we climb
Well there’s lots of wrongs in this wrong old world
That are never gonna be put right
And there’s fifty days that you’ll walk on by
For the one that you stand and fight
Still the happiest man is the one who can smile
When he’s covered in the grit and the grime
But when faced with a mountain we climb

Well climbing is all you can do with a mountain
When you don’t have the time to go round
You can make where you stand just the start of a journey
You can make it a burial ground
When the top seems a long way off from the bottom
Just you and the rocks and the slime
But when faced with a mountain we climb
 
Well I guess some roads are gonna be bumpy
And some roads gonna be smooth
And the bumpier ones will jiggle you a little
But you’ll take it just so you can move
And the smartest fella has got an umbrella
He knows the sun don’t always shine
But when faced with a mountain we climb

Well climbing is all you can do with a mountain
When you don’t have the time to go round
You can make where you stand just the start of a journey
You can make it a burial ground
When the top seems a long way off from the bottom
Just you and the rocks and the slime
But when faced with a mountain we climb
Well climbing is all you can do with a mountain
When you don’t have the time to go round
You can make where you stand just the start of a journey
You can make it a burial ground
When the top seems a long way off from the bottom
Just you and the rocks and the slime
But when faced with a mountain we climb
