Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well I'm climbin' up the ladder
I keep pushin' and I'm bound to know
Well I'm climbin', climbin' the ladder
Though it be shakin'
Ain't it up that I gotta go
Keep me in the backroads
Ha
Why should I stay down?
I keep tryin'
Tryin' my best now baby
Ha
To reach that solid ground
Ain't nothin' wrong baby
Ain't nothin' wrong
In believin' in a dream
Ain't nothin' wrong baby
Ain't nothin' wrong
Though the evidence unseen, ooh
[Verse 2]
Well, well, well
I'm climbin' up the ladder
I keep pushin'
And I'm bound to know
Well, I'm climbin', climbin' up the ladder
Though it be shakin'
Ain't it up that I gotta go
Reach out for the wisdom
Ha
[Verse 3]
Touchin' it everyday
I keep reachin'
For my next step baby
I keep hopin' that I find a way
Ain't nothin' wrong baby
Ain't nothin' wrong
In believin' in a dream
Ain't nothin' wrong baby
Ain't nothin' wrong
Though the evidence unseen
[Verse 4]
Yeah let me play it for you
Ahh, I'm climbin' up the ladder
I keep pushin'
And I'm bound to know
Said I'm climbin' climbin' the ladder
Though it be shakin'
Ain't it up that I gotta go
Seekin' satisfaction
[Verse 5]
Ha
Doubt that I believe
But don't try me
Try my faith now baby
I said Daniel
Stopped the mouths of beasts
Ain't nothin' wrong baby
Ain't nothin' wrong
In believin' in a dream
Ain't nothin' wrong baby
Ain't nothin' wrong
Though the evidence unseen
