Chorus:
climbin' up the ladder
i keep pushin' and i'm bound to know
climbin' climbin' the ladder
though it be shakin'
ain't it up that i gotta go?
keep me in the backroads
why should i stay down?
i keep tryin', tryin' my best now baby
to reach that solid ground
Refrain:
ain't nothin' wrong baby, ain't nothin' wrong in believin' in a dream
ain't nothin' wrong baby, ain't nothin' wrong though the evidence unseen
Chorus:
climbin' up the ladder
i keep pushin' and i'm bound to know
climbin' climbin' up the ladder
though it be shakin'
ain't it up that i gotta go?
reach out for the wisdom
touchin' it every day
i keep reachin' for my next step baby
i keep hopin' that i find a way
ain't nothin' wrong baby, ain't nothin' wrong in believin' in a dream
ain't nothin' wrong baby, ain't nothin' wrong though the evidence unseen
climbin' up the ladder
i keep pushin' and i'm bound to know
climbin' climbin' up the ladder
though it be shakin'
ain't it up that i gotta go?
seekin' satisfaction
doubt that i believe?
but don't try me try my faith now baby
i said daniel's stopped the mouths of beasts!
ain't nothin' wrong baby, ain't nothin' wrong in believin' in a dream
ain't nothin' wrong baby, ain't nothin' wrong though the evidence unseen
