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.
