The Climber

[Verse 1]
Queen of daggers through my heart
Woke my fever with a start
Said again we will never meet
Dropped a mountain at my feet

[Chorus]
And I will climb
Said I will climb
Yeah, I will climb
'Cause crying in the gutter
Is such a waste of time, yeah

[Verse 2]
Rocks and stones before my eyes
Whistling winds and desert skies
Only way this pain gon' stop
Up that mountain and to the top

[Chorus]
And I will climb
Said I will climb
Yeah, I will climb
'Cause lying in the gutter
Is just a waste of time, yeah

[Interlude: Serena Catapano]
Oh-ooohhooo
Ay-ayaaaaaa
Oh-oh-ooohhooo
Yeah-aaaay-yeah
Mm-mmm-MMM-mm-mmm
Mmmmmm-mmmmmmmmmm

[Verse 3]
When my will came crashing down
Didn't sink, I didn't drown
Now, see my struttin' down your street
With my mountain chained to my feet

[Outro]
And I will climb
(Yeah, I will climb)
Said I will climb
(Say I will climb)
Yeah, I will climb
(Ooh, I will climb)
'Cause dying in the gutter
Is such a waste of time, yeah
