What you got? Either you’re in it or you’re notGot the gear to venture to the venue on the rocksPack it up, here we go, the friends, the roadRemember your shoes, the carabiners, the ropeFrom Cali to Maine, Minnesota, we’re gameFor anything that happens to come our wayFrom the east to the west to the north to the southLooking for adventure, yo, look what we foundThe cliffs, the view, the sun, it’s trueWhether hot or cold, there’s climbing to doAny direction, we’ll find the actionWe do it as a hobby, but it’s more like an addictionFeeling so high, acting so wildHearing all the grunts, seeing all the smilesCamaraderie, the trust, safety’s a mustCan you conquer the world before you bite the dust?
[chorus]Show me what you gotWhat you gonna doTo get on topTo get through?Climbing on the rocksGetting ready to rollTooth, claw and fangC’mon, let it go!
Harness our energy, take it to the routeLife is full of stress, we gonna let it all outAnd leave it on the mountainside when the day is doneThen wake up the next morning and repeat all the funWe boulder, we bond, we turn it up and rock onSport climb or trad, doesn’t matter, we’re goneThe roof, the grab, the crack, the slabOur fingers are jammed, but keep moving, that’s the planLose blood and sweat, no limit, no regretSet the bar high and take all the freedom you can getThe courage, the strain, the joy, the painLife is too short and there’s too much to gainReady to ascend into the clouds in the skyOthers think we’re crazy, they don’t know whyWe climb so high to get a thrill to feel aliveWhat’s a life worth living without the chance you could die?
[chorus]Show me what you gotWhat you gonna doTo get on topTo get through?Climbing on the rocksGetting ready to rollTooth, claw and fangC’mon, let it go!
Here we go again, to the promised landBeauty prevails and the scale is grandFollow me if you wanna believeThat there’s more to life than watching TVChange altitude, it’s all about the attitudeOne hundred percent in everything that we doWhew! Deep breath, are you set for this?You bet your life to get a brief moment of blissThe knots, the checks, the top, you’re nextAs you climb on, start to feel the effectsStronger in your mind, your muscles definedBreaking a sweat just approaching the climbClipping in quickdraws, avoiding the flawsThe ground’s not soft and gravity is a lawThe peak is near, defeat your fearOpen your eyes and let the marvel appear
[chorus]Show me what you gotWhat you gonna doTo get on topC’mon, to get through?Climbing on the rocksGetting ready to rollTooth, claw and fangC’mon, let it go!
