The song "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus uses various literary devices to describe the struggles of persevering to achieve one's dreams and goals despite facing obstacles. It utilizes repetition, end rhyme, onomatopoeia, alliteration, and personification to represent the uphill climb of life. The chorus reinforces the message that achieving one's dreams is a process rather than the result, using the mountain as a metaphor for challenges that must be overcome through faith and perseverance.

2. Lyrics
• I can almost see it That dream I'm dreaming' but there's a voice inside my head
saying" you'll never reach it". Every step I'm taking. Every move I make feels Lost
with no direction. My faith is shaking But I, I got to keep trying.Got to keep my
head held high. There's always going to be another mountain. I'm always going to
want to make it move. Always going to be an uphill battle Sometimes I'm going
to have to lose. Isn't about how fast I get there. Isn't about what's waiting on the
other side. It's the climb. The struggles I'm facing. The chances I'm taking.
Sometimes might knock me down button I'm not breaking. I may not know it but
these are the moments that I'm going to remember most, yeah. Just got to keep
going. And I, I got to be strong. Just keep pushing on. Cause, there's always going
to be another mountain. I'm always going to want to make it move. Always going
to be an uphill battle But Sometimes I'm going to have to lose. Isn't about how
fast I get there. Isn't about what's waiting on the other side. It's the climb.
Heather's always going to be another mountain. I'm always going to want to
make it move. Always going to be an uphill battle Sometimes you're going to
have to lose. Isn't about how fast I get there. Isn't about what's waiting on the
other side. It's the climb.Yeah-heh-heh-yeay-yeaheyKeep on moving, Keep
climbing, Keep the faith, Baby. It's all about, It's all about the climb. Keep your
faith, Keep your faith. Whoa-oh
