The Climb Lyrics

I saw a rose-colored ladder

It was scarlet, dipped in blood

How I wanted to run away but I was halfway up

By no fault of my own

I was halfway home

Given a chance to partake in a climb

To the sky

So I keep climbing up

Longing for Your love

But all the things I want

Seem to hold me up

So I keep climbing up

Longing for Your love

And all the things I see

Keep on distracting me

Then I start sliding down

Heading for the ground

Then by no strength of my own

I was halfway home

One by one

Rung by rung I fell out of place

Luckily for me

I could not fall that far from grace

I saw a rose-colored ladder

That's easier to climb if you're blind

But I could see the things that I've done

And I knew I had to try

How far does it go?

That I do not know

But I've been given a chance to partake

In the forging of a throne

So I keep climbing up

Longing for Your love

But all the things I want

Seem to hold me up

So I keep climbing up

Longing for Your love

And all the things I see

Keep on distracting me

Then I start sliding down

Heading for the ground

Then by no strength of my own

I was halfway
