[Verse 1]
Climbing to the top
I'll tell you anything you want
We're on this planetary journey to a place beyond
The independent minds will tell you
The colors you should wear
But know the game of life
Is just a game of solitaire

[Verse 2]
Climbing to the top
The ones you love will come and go
When you lose you sacrifice
Chasing the rainbow
And if you should climb this magic ladder
The story will unfold
Just remember when you reach the top
All that glitters is not gold

[Bridge]
Time, just take the time
What you think is what you find
You know the answers
You're no ordinary dancer
Face the changes you go through
Have the faith in what you do
You know the answers
You're no ordinary dancer

[Chorus]
Climbing to the top
I'll tell you anything you want
We're on this planetary journey
To a place beyond
You can climb the highest mountain
Swim the deepest seas
The only thing that matters is
You will find your destiny

[Bridge]
You know the answers
You're no ordinary dancer
You know the answers
You're no ordinary dancer

[Chorus]
Climbing to the top
I'll tell you anything you want
We're on an imaginary journey
To a place beyond
You can climb the highest mountains
Swim the deepest seas
The only thing that matters is
You will find your destiny
