Long Ladder Lyrics - Singles - Spring Of Hope

If the road is getting harder 

You just might be going the right way 

And if your troubles seem to gather all around 

If the dreams that you've been climbing toward 

Linger for another day 

Don't be foolish, check your direction 

But don't you be giving no ground! 

Don't be foolish, keep on climbing 

And don't you be giving no ground! 

Easy come and easy go 

It's easier said than done 

And it ain't wide when the Wise Man's Way is found 

In a day of lying vanities 

The piercing truth will come 

So don't be foolish, check your direction 

But don't you be giving no ground! 

Don't be foolish, keep on climbing 

And don't you be giving no ground! 

[Chorus] 

'Cause it's a long ladder 

It's a long, long ladder 

It's a long ladder up to heaven 

It's a long ladder 

It's a long, long ladder 

It's a long ladder.... 

And don't you be giving no ground! 

In the sway of wild and wintry winds 

A cloud of witness grows 

And victors marching make the heavens pound 

Oh, death, you're not the strongest here 

By love you've been deposed 

So don't be foolish, check your direction 

But don't you be giving no ground! 

Don't be foolish, keep on climbing 

And don't you be giving no ground!
