Wiping his brow He managed to tear himself away
The past few nights had left him rather tired
Returned his thoughts To a need he felt overpowering
He felt success was now within his grasp

Climbing the ladder Three runs forward, two runs back
Climbing the ladder Trying to stay on just the right track

Keeps up the pace Tells himself that it's all worthwhile
Hard work is its own reward one day
Could he be wrong Are all his dreams merely fantasies
And would it all fall in on him some day

Climbing the ladder Three runs forward, two runs back
Climbing the ladder Trying to stay on just the right track

Now he sits back Amid all the things he worked so hard for
And wonders was his energy well spent
Whatever the price He is where he wants to be
The end has justified the means and all

(Chorus)
