BECAUSE IT'S THERE

(verse)
They gave him the Medal of Honor. His last tour, he was a tail gunner,
He helped the rest of his squadron to survive.
They presented Mom with a folded flag, said he'd always given all he had,
'til he left us, Daddy had that sparkle in his eyes.
Last time I saw him, he said "Son, don't be scared."
"It's okay, go ahead and climb that mountain,"

(chorus)
Because it's there,
Every challenge that we face is something to embrace,
If we dare.
When you're where,
You know that you belong, you can do no wrong,
So, Son, prepare.
Birth and death, you're between 'em,
Live your moments like you mean 'em.
Time's the only thing that can't be spared.
Go on and climb that mountain,
Because it's there.
Because it's there.

(verse)
She just learned her ABC's, climbed up on my knee,
She said, "Daddy, someday, can I be president?"
I told her, "Grandpa said we can do anything, anything that we can dream.
Don't let anyone tell you that you can't.
Little butterfly, don't ever be scared,
It's okay, go ahead and climb that mountain,"

(chorus)
Because it's there,
Every challenge that we face is something to embrace,
If we dare.
When you're where,
You know that you belong, you can do no wrong,
So, Girl, prepare.
Birth and death, you're between 'em,
Live your moments like you mean 'em.
Time's the only thing that can't be spared.
Go on and climb that mountain,
Because it's there.
Because it's there.
Because it's there.

I liked this song. Over all a great song

Nice theme and rhymes, - original. Sends a great message.
Should encorae young people.

I like the sound of the drums and the rhythm guitar, I also really like the lead vocals, great lyrics as well!

I loved this song , very pretty lyrics and a good meaning. I could see this being on a country chart in today's Market. It was arranged well had a good variation in sounds. Your voice was spot on for this song. I really enjoyed it, a few small tweaks it could be a big hit on the radio. Great song, I expect to hear it again one day.

Well done:) I love the sentiment of this song. Really nice lift in the chorus with great instrumentation.

Very good material, important in this day and age

What a beautiful song, heart-felt, very touching lyrics. Great vocals. Well written. Beautiful arrangement!

Superb vocal.
Comfortable balance between instrumentation and vocals.
Harmonies well-used.
Crystal clear percussion.
Uplifting and motivational.

i really do like the song, has a lot of potential
