I'm climbin' this ladder

My head in the clouds

I hope that it matters

I'm havin' my doubts

I'm watchin' the skaters

Fly by on the lake

Ice frozen six feet deep

How long does it take

I look out on peaceful lands

With no war nearby

An ocean of shakin' hands

That grab at the sky

I'm singin' this borrowed tune

I took from the Rolling Stones

Alone in this empty room

Too wasted to write my own

I'm climbin' this ladder

My heads in the clouds

I hope that it matters
