Ladder of Love

Last night, I heard thunder, but I wished it was louder I was longing for the lightning to demonstrate it's power I don't mind the rain or the gales of blowing wind I'm climbing up the ladder of love again The first rung was the song I sung the day that I first met her And the second was a reckoning I never would forget her The third became forgiveness, my life was filled with sin I'm climbing up the ladder of love again I can't erase my grin like a crown above my chin I'm far ahead of where I used to be One day I'll ring the bell on the run that marks the end I'm climbing up the ladder of love again A giant wave is rising, but I'm above the water And the air is cold and thin up here, but I'm just getting hotter I recognize the clouds, now that I'm breathing in I'm climbing up the ladder of love again Last night, I heard thunder, but I wished it was louder I was longing for the lightning to demonstrate its power I don't mind the rain or the gales of blowing wind I'm climbing up the ladder I'm climbing up the ladder I'm climbing up the ladder of love again
