Trying to find a ladder up
I keep working my way back down
Making a promise I could not keep
I keep working my way back down
Doing a good thing to help you out
I keep working my way back down
Covering up all I've done in doubt
I keep working my way back down
And when I'm down I hear You say
You're going the wrong way
Climbing the ladder up
Climbing the ladder up
Climbing the ladder up
Trying to reach the top
Climbing the ladder up I try to reach the top
Working my way back down
Thinking I've done so well I try to ring the bell
Working my way back down
I'm in another maze trying to change my ways
Working my way back down
You seem so far from me why must I always be
Working my way back down
And once again I hear You say
You're going the wrong way
Climbing the ladder up
Climbing the ladder up
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ladder up
Trying to reach the top
Been out of tune so long I heard another song
Letting the ladder go
Falling, I found you there Your love is every where
You know it goes to show
That when I'm down it won't take long
Knowing that I was wrong
Climbing the ladder up
Climbing the ladder up
Climbing the ladder up
Trying to reach the top
And You keep saying I should stop
Climbing the ladder up
Climbing the ladder up
Climbing the ladder up
Climbing the ladder up
Climbing the ladder up
Climbing the ladder up
Climbing the ladder up
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ladder up
