Life is a Ladder by Mark Stein (recorded on Dave Mason's LP, "Old Crest on a New Wave") Life is a ladder You climb it every day It doesn't matter If you slip along the way 'Cause life's going to catch And push you up so high You'll never come down You'll never come down We are all searchin' Man, you're not alone Everyone's trying to Make it on his own Keep your ship upon the water Don't you let yourself drown Sailing so high You'll never come down All of life's such competition Sometimes so hard to bear But I've got a suspicion there's Always going to be room to share Life is a ladder... Life is a ladder...
