I remember the teacher man that walked into our town.
He said life's like a mountain, tall, you've got to reach the crown.
He said life's like a mountain rising from the sky.
He said you really got to climb, my friend, you really have to try

To go up, up, up, up, u-up, up, up, up, u-up, up, up, up, u-up up, I was halfway up the mountain, 
I was halfway up the mountain. 
I was halfway up the mountain when I met you. 
Halfway up the mountain, 
only halfway up the mountain 
I was halfway up the mountain when I met you.

I was nearly tired to death and falling to the ground.
Funny how when things got tough I had no friends around. 
I couldn't take another step, that mountain was too high. 
But then I heard your voice say,"Love, we'll get there by and by." Come on up, up, up, up, u-up, up, up, up,up, u-up, up, up, up, up,u-up
up, I was halfway up the mountain. 
I was halfway up the mountain. 
I was halfway up the mountain when I met you.
Halfway up the mountain, 
only halfway up the mountain. 
I was halfway up the mountain when I met you, you, you, you
