The Ladder
Iāve been down in this hole so long I canāt recall
Another way to live outside of these four walls
Iām reaching up to find a rung that I can grab
To lift me out of all this emptiness and drab
Ā
I know thereās got to be a little light above my head
I know Iāve got to climb this ladder now before Iām dead
Thereās something burning in my soul and I canāt turn away
Iāve had enough of darkness this is not where I will stay
Ā
I thought I knew it all and I was in control
I burned the candle at both ends, it took its toll
And as the shadows started filling up my space
I realized I lost my way, I fell from grace
Ā
I know thereās got to be a little light above my head
I know Iāve got to climb this ladder now before Iām dead
Thereās something burning in my soul and I canāt turn away
Iāve had enough of darkness this is not where I will stay
