Prince - The Ladder Lyrics
Once upon a time in the land of sinaplentyThere lived a king who didnt deserve 2 beHe knew not where he came fromNor where he was goingHe never once said thank u, never pleaseNow this king he had a subject named electraWho loved him with a passion, uncontested4 him each day she had a smileBut it didnt matterThe king was looking 4 the ladderEverybodys looking 4 the ladderEverybody wants salvation of the soulThe steps u take are no easy roadBut the reward is great4 those who want 2 goA feeling of self-worth (everybodys 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 gods creation will undress uAnd time spent alone my friend, will ceaseEverybodys looking 4 the answersHow the story started and how it will endWhats the use in half a story, half a dreamU have 2 climb all of the steps in between (yeah, we ride)Everybodys looking 4 the ladderEverybody wants salvation of the soulThe steps u take are no easy road (the steps you take are no easy road)(its not that easy)But the reward is great4 those who want 2 go (I do)Everybody... everybodys looking (everybodys looking 4 the answers)For the answersEverybody wants to know how the story (how the story started)Started and how it will end (started and how it will end)Whats the use in half a story, (whats the use in half a story)Half a dream (half of a dream)U, u gotta climb, u gotta climb (u have 2 climb all)All of the steps in between (the steps in between)Everybody,Everybodys looking 4 that ladder (everybodys looking 4 the ladder)Everybody wants salvation of the soul (everybody wants salvation of the soul)(salvation)The steps u take are no easy road (the steps you take are no easy road)(thats for sure)But the reward is great (the reward is great)4 those who want 2 go, (4 those who want 2 go)Those who want 2 goEverybody... everybody wants (everybodys looking 4 the answers)An answerAnyone who know how the story (how the story started)Started, how it will end (started and how it will end)Will it be lonely in the world (whats the use in half a story)Whats the use?
