Life lessons from "Hannah Montana".

I stumbled across a song tonight that is the most inspirational song that I've heard in a long time. With the way that I've been feeling lately about life in general, I really needed a pick-me-up, but I never expected to get it from a song that's in the upcoming Hannah Montana movie.

But, alas, that's exactly where it came from. Miley Cyrus sang "The Climb" at the Presidential Inauguration concert deal tonight, and I immediately had to go look up the lyrics.

It's weird how a song, especially one from a kiddie movie, can put you in a better mood. But it did.

Because it nailed everything. Right. On. The. Head.

I can almost see it, that dream I’m dreaming, but
There’s a voice inside my head saying “You’ll never reach it”.
Every step I’m taking, every move I make feels,
Lost with no direction, my faith is shaking.
But I’ve gotta keep tryin’, gotta keep my head held high.

There’s always gonna be another mountain.
I’m always gonna want to make it move.
Always be an uphill battle.
Sometimes I’m gonna have to lose.
Ain’t about how fast I get there.
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side.
It’s the climb.

The struggles I’m facing, the chances I’m taking.
Sometimes might knock me down, but no, I’m not breaking.
And I may not know it, but these are the moments that
I’m gonna remember most, yeah.
Just gotta keep going and I,
I’ve got to be strong.
Just keep pushing on.

There’s always gonna be another mountain.
I’m always gonna want to make it move.
Always be an uphill battle.
Sometimes I’m gonna have to lose.
Ain’t about how fast I get there.
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side.
It’s the climb.

There’s always gonna be another mountain.
I’m always gonna want to make it move.
Always be an uphill battle.
Sometimes I’m gonna have to lose.
Ain’t about how fast I get there.
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side.
It’s the climb.
Yeahhhhhh.

Keep on movin, keep climbing.
Keep the faith, baby.
It’s all about, it’s all about the climb.
Keep the faith, keep your faith.

Thank you, Miss Montana.
