The Ladder of Life

Climbing up the ladder of life
Who would have thought I could climb so high?
Starting on the bottom rung
I fell and tumbled a thousand times
All I wanted was love and money
And peace and happiness

Oh, it's a wonder I survived
Oh, climbing up on the ladder of life

Climbing on the ladder of life
So many things I passed right by
Sliding through the fingers of time
I wouldn't mind another try
All I want is love and money
And peace and happiness

Oh, it's a wonder I survive
Oh, climbing up on the ladder of life

Far away from home
Far away from home
Far away from everything I know
Travel gets me weary
But music gets me high

Oh, it's a wonder I survived
Oh, climbing up on the ladder of life
