He managed to tear himself away
The past few nights had left him rather tired
Returned his thoughts
To a need he felt overpowering
He felt success was now within his grasp
Climbing the ladder
Three runs forward, two runs back
Climbing the ladder
Trying to stay on just the right track
Keeps up the pace
Tells himself that it's all worthwhile
Hard work is it's own reward one day
Could he be wrong
Are all his dreams merely fantasies
And would it all fall in on him some day
Climbing the ladder
Three runs forward, two runs back
Climbing the ladder
Trying to stay on just the right track
Now he sits back
Amid all the things he worked so hard for
And wonders was his energy well spent
Whatever the price
He is where he wants to be
The end has justified the means and all
[Chorus:]
Wiping his brow He managed to tear himself away The past few nights had left him rather tired Returned his thoughts To a need he felt overpowering He felt success was now within his grasp Climbing the ladder Three runs forward, two runs back Climbing the ladder Trying to stay on just the right track Keeps up the pace Tells himself that it's all worthwhile Hard work is it's own reward one day Could he be wrong Are all his dreams merely fantasies And would it all fall in on him some day Climbing the ladder Three runs forward, two runs back Climbing the ladder Trying to stay on just the right track Now he sits back Amid all the things he worked so hard for And wonders was his energy well spent Whatever the price He is where he wants to be The end has justified the means and all [Chorus:] Explain Request ×
