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 tuneI 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.
