The ClimbNo Doubt

Released: October 10, 1995

Songwriter: Eric Stefani

Producer: Matthew Wilder

[Verse 1]
Step by step, I've come closer to reaching the top
Every step must be placed so that I don't fall off
Looking down to see about how much higher I am
Another cool wind comes through, brushes my skin
The harder I push, the tension does grow
I gather my thoughts the further and further I go
With some luck I just might keep on climbing
So better to climb than to face a fall

[Chorus]
So high the climb
I can't turn back now
Must keep on climbing up to the clouds
So high the climb
I can't turn back now
Must keep on climbing up to the clouds

[Verse 2]
Pulling myself up by a rope
I better my view
The only thing in sight is what I must do
As I turned I could see myself falling
Which in return gave me strength for the climb

[Chorus]
So high the climb
I can't turn back now
Must keep on climbing up to the clouds
So high the climb
I can't turn back now
Must keep on climbing up to the clouds

[Bridge]
Although many failed, I must now prevail with no question
Have no time to stop, onward to the top of the mountain
And I can't turn back now
It's so very high but I can't turn back now
If I keep it up, I'm gonna make it
I'm so very close, can't you see?

[Chorus]
So high the climb
I can't turn back now
Must keep on climbing up to the clouds
So high the climb
I can't turn back now
Must keep on climbing up to the clouds

[Outro]
Getting closer, getting closer
Looking back to you

No Doubt

No Doubt formed in Anaheim, California in 1986. They have created a decade-defining style and have arguably become one of the most recognized bands of their time. The band has consisted of vocalist and frontwoman Gwen Stefani, guitarist Tom Dumont, bassist Tony Kanal, and drummer Adrian Young, as well as several former members—including Gwen’s older brother Eric Stefani.

They found mainstream success following the release of their third studio album Tragic Kingdom in late 1995. It eventually landed at the top of the Billboard charts in 1996, and has sold over 8 million copies as of 2012.
