(Soft choir hums, gentle piano intro)
(Verse 1: Soloist & Choir Harmonies)
On a road so steep and winding,
With every step, the storm is blinding.
But I see a light that calls me near,
The clouds break open, skies are clear.
(Choral harmonies swell with soft folk instrumentation: guitar, piano, and banjo accents)
(Chorus: Full Choir)
We are climbing to glory, rising high,
Through the storm and the rain, toward the sky.
With every fall, we learn to stand,
Guided by a mighty hand.
On this mountain, we’ll be free,
In the light of eternity.
(Big band instruments join subtly: brass section swells behind the choral lines)
(Verse 2: Soloist & Choir Response)
Through the valley, we hear the song,
Of faith that leads us ever strong.
The wind may blow, but we don’t bend,
For we know how this journey ends.
(Choral harmonies with folk and country rhythms: banjo, guitar, and choir blend)
(Chorus: Full Choir & Big Band)
We are climbing to glory, rising high,
Through the storm and the rain, toward the sky.
With every fall, we learn to stand,
Guided by a mighty hand.
On this mountain, we’ll be free,
In the light of eternity.
(Bridge: Choir hums softly, with religious undertones and spiritual resonance)
(Bridge: Soloist & Choir)
Hold your heart, and don’t let go,
The light will guide you through the cold.
Keep your faith, and climb on high,
The sun is waiting in the sky.
(Final Chorus: Full Choir, Big Band Brass, Country rhythms building to a grand finale)
(Final Chorus: Full Choir)
We are climbing to glory, rising high,
With the strength of the faithful by our side.
Though we stumble, we rise again,
Guided by His loving hand.
On this mountain, we will stand,
In the light of the promised land.
(Outro: Choir fades gently, banjo and piano echo the final chords)
