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
