Every man's got a mountain

Every man's got a mountain Lyrics

It ain't easy, the road of life, it ain't easy
It don't matter if you're black or white
Nobody rides for free
Well, believe me, life is a bitter-sweet journey
And everybody that starts out in the cradle
Still ends up in the grave

Well, every man's got a mountain to climb
He's got his own cross to bear
Well, every day's just another step you take
On the road that takes you there
On the road that takes you there

Well, you might be a rich kid
Livin' on milk and honey
Livin' off your Daddy's money
But money ain't everything
Can't buy forgiveness
It sure can't buy salvation
But it can numb your senses
And tarnish your golden rings

Well, every man's got a mountain to climb
He's got his own cross to bear
Well, every day's just another step you take
On the road that takes you there
On the road that takes you there
You can have nothin' an' still have it all
Be a blind man and still see
You can be locked up in a cell
But your heart can still be free
(Your heart can still be free)

It ain't easy, the road of life, it ain't easy
Everybody's got a cross to bear
On the road that takes you there

(Aw, take me there)

You can have nothin' and still have it all
Be a blind man and still see
You can be locked up in a cell
But your heart can still be free
(Your heart can still be free)

It ain't easy: the road of life, it ain't easy
Everybody's got a cross to bear
On the road that takes you there

Yeah, everybody's got a cross to bear
On the road that takes you there
