THE LADDER
Prince


Once upon a time in the land of Sinaplenty 
There lived a king who didn't deserve 2 be 
He knew not where he came from 
Nor where he was going 
He never once said thank U, never please 

Now this king he had a subject named Electra 
Who loved him with a passion, uncontested 
4 him each day she had a smile 
But it didn't matter 
The king was looking 4 the ladder 

Everybody's looking 4 the ladder 
Everybody wants salvation of the soul 
The steps U take are no easy road 
But the reward is great 
4 those who want 2 go 

A feeling of self-worth (everybody's looking) 
will caress U (for the answers) 
The size of the whole wide world will decrease (how the story 
started) 
(and how it will end) 
The love of God's creation will undress U 
And time spent alone my friend, will cease 

Everybody's looking 4 the answers 
How the story started and how it will end 
What's the use in half a story, half a dream 
U have 2 climb all of the steps in between (yeah, we ride) 

Everybody's looking 4 the ladder 
Everybody wants salvation of the soul 
The steps U take are no easy road (the steps you take are no easy 
road) 
(it's not that easy) 
But the reward is great 
4 those who want 2 go (I do)

answers)

all of the steps in between (the steps in between)
