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
