Eels - Mockingbird Franklin lyrics

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...

[ guitar ]

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 uphill all the way

Uphill all the way uphill all the way
