The Ladder

Yes It's rungs May be covered in rust But commit to the climb To learn how to trust Yes You'll fall Again and again Caught by the arms Of a very old friend Yes You'll be put Back at the start A journey to the place Where you're never apart Yes Your hands Will be battered and bruised Take solace in a fate You surely didn't choose Yes This climb Has no real end But neither does the truth For which we ascend
