[Verse 1]
We climbed a mountain
And I picked wildflowers and put ‘em in her hair
And at the top we found a meadow
And danced barefoot in the grass
And I’m not lying there were bluebirds in the air
It was a long one
There was a time or two we felt like giving up
But every fall and every stumble made us
Stop and see the wonder
With your hand in mine we pushed on towards the top

[Chorus]
Why, do people climb mountains?
Is it just to reach the top and see the view?
Well I, tell you something
Every rock and every river
Every sore and every splinter
I would climb every mountain with you

[Verse 2]
Well the clouds rolled in
There was lightning there was thunder there was rain
As we hid beneath our shelter
All the doubts that we had felt
Came pouring in as a flood we had to face
Then came the sunshine
The clouds rolled back and color filled the earth
And the rain had brought the flowers
You could sit and stare for hours
And the toil and the struggle showed its worth
[Chorus 2]
Why, do people climb mountains?
Is it just to reach the top and see the view?
Well I, tell you something
Every rock and every river
Every sore and every splinter
In the summer, in the winter
When it's warm and when we shiver
I would climb every mountain with you

[Bridge]
We climbed a mountain
I picked wildflowers
We climbed a mountain
I picked wildflowers
We climbed a mountain
I picked wildflowers
We climbed a mountain
I picked wildflowers

[Final Chorus]
Why, do people climb mountains?
Is it just to reach the top and see the view?
Well I, tell you something
Every rock and every river
Every sore and every splinter
In the summer, in the winter
When it's warm and when we shiver
When our feet are full of blisters
When it's sweet and when it's bitter
I’d climb every mountain with you
