(Don Schlitz - Janis Gill)

There's a mountain in the distance I can see
And that mountain top is where I want to be
'Cause I'm down here below with at least a million miles to go
I get a little closer everyday, it's uphill all the way.

Uphill all the way, uphill all the way
No, I ain't looking back at all 'cause if I do I'll surely fall
Oh, I just keep on moving night and day
Uphill all the way.

The day you're born is the day that you depart
The only map you're given is your heart
No matter where you turn every bridge you cross you burn
And if you ask directions folks just say it's uphill all the way.

Uphill all the way, uphill all the way
No, I ain't looking back at all 'cause if I do I'll surely fall
Oh, I just keep on moving night and day
Uphill all the way.

--- Instrumental ---

It doesn't matter where you start
The road is just as long
It's not the destination
It's the journey makes you strong.

Uphill all the way, uphill all the way
No, I ain't looking back at all 'cause if I do I'll surely fall
Oh, I just keep on moving night and day
Uphill all the way.

Uphill all the way, uphill all the way.
Uphill all the way, uphill all the way...
