Put On Your Climbing Shoes

from Storydwelling by Heatherlyn

about

A tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King's "Mountain Top" speech, delivered the day before he was assassinated.

lyrics

Set out on this journey brothers and sisters
With provisions of love, grace and forgiveness
With conviction we are all intrinsically connected
With so much in common and with beautiful difference


Put on your climbing shoes
Put on your climbing shoes
Put on your shoes Take me with you to the mountaintop.
Keep on climbing. We will never stop.


Wade through streams, press on and push against the wind.
Take my hand, build trust, know my friend, you’ll help me up. Sometimes we’ll run and hurdle. Sometimes we’ll trip and stumble. Over rocks and crags, steep passageways, LOVE will lift us.

Put on your climbing shoes
Put on your climbing shoes
Put on your shoes Take me with you to the mountaintop.
Keep on climbing. We will never stop.


When stormy clouds are covering the summit view
Remember how rainbows come into bloom
Storm cloud showers, thunder and drenching rain
Collide with sunshine rays of light to ribbons of colorful change.

Put on your climbing shoes
Put on your climbing shoes
Put on your shoes Take me with you to the mountaintop.
Keep on climbing. We will never stop.

Keep on hiking and we’ll the scale the heights.
Keep on walking. Walk by faith, not by sight.

Oooooh

Put on your shoes!
Put on your shoes and lace 'em right
We gonna climb if it takes all night
Climbin' up together,
Climbin' round the clock
Never stop no never until we reach the top

Keep reaching and reaching and moving and climbing...

From the lowest of lows
to the highest of highs
we're climbing
From the lowest of lows
to the highest of highs
we're climbing
