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.
