What is a man who holds his hand, when it’s time to play his cards For a man who lives without a plan is nay a man a’tall And in the life of a goalless man, you’ll never get too far When said a man can stand no more, he totters then he falls Upon the tallest ladder is where you can find me Rungs in both hands and under toe! But when you’re on this ladder do you see your hands, or do you see your feet? To see me you ought not look down below For I atop this ladder stand, I made it here, I followed my plan You’re close to the top, don’t give up, don’t stop Look up in the sky, I’m waiting for you to take my hand Lest loose your fear, it’s the promise land, we’ve made it to the top This new world is yours- have fun, stay young; But when you close your eyes don’t forget where it begun, Cuz’ when you were on this ladder you swore you’d never forget a rung You started as nobody and now you are someone

Ladder
What is a man who holds his hand, when it’s time to play his cards For a man who lives without a plan is nay a man a’tall And in the life of a goalless man, you’ll never get too far When said a man can stand no more, he totters then he falls Upon the tallest ladder is where you can find me Rungs in both hands and under toe! But when you’re on this ladder do you see your hands, or do you see your feet? To see me you ought not look down below For I atop this ladder stand, I made it here, I followed my plan You’re close to the top, don’t give up, don’t stop Look up in the sky, I’m waiting for you to take my hand Lest loose your fear, it’s the promise land, we’ve made it to the top This new world is yours- have fun, stay young; But when you close your eyes don’t forget where it begun, Cuz’ when you were on this ladder you swore you’d never forget a rung You started as nobody and now you are someone
