The Ladder

Once in my lifetime

I intend to see

The ladder ascending

In front of me

Once in my lifetime

I intend to see

The ladder ascending

In front of me

I've been searching without

I've been searching within

Up, down, all around, roundabout

Here and there, out and in

Because once in my lifetime

I intend to see

The ladder ascending

In front of me

I have a come a long way

Over oceans and hills

I'm weary and unwhole

And I need my cup refilled

Once in my lifetime

I intend to see

The ladder ascending

In front of me
