The Ladder lyrics

Anderson/Squire/Howe/White/Sherwood/Khoroshev

Nothing can take us far enough emotion
Far enough together
As the light shines so bright
Bright enough to let us in

Nothing can bridge our souls' devotion
Fast enough together
As the power proves you right
Right enough to let you begin

So many displaced among the future dreamers
Realized their doubles
Took a new step

Anderson/Squire/Howe/White/Sherwood/Khoroshev

Golden forest golden lake
Sanctuary, state of grace
I will find reason a place to begin
It will be a good day

Beginning is one place I've been before
Watching the sunrise on the silver shores
Setting me free again leading the way
It will be a good day

Sometimes I forget
How mighty this earth
Astounding winter skies
Truth is in birth

Anderson/Squire/Howe/White/Sherwood/Khoroshev

What you gonna do when the lightning strikes and hits you
Who ya gonna call for the secret of stealing the world
Swimming in this ocean of words on your new cellphone
Diving for the wisdom of pearls in your eyes
Come on

What ya gonna do when the lightning strikes and hits you
How ya gonna laugh when the joker forgets his lines

Anderson/Squire/Howe/White/Sherwood/Khoroshev

Here we are trying to mend all the broken hearts
In a world where the pain is the fear
Ain't no doubt there's a method to madness here
Set your clock to the start of a brand new year

Shine your heart to the universe and get the news
Not alone never have been, never will be
See the truth, not to mention the promise made

Anderson/Squire/Howe/White/Sherwood/Khoroshev

I can lift you with my heart
Give you meaning every day
Cannot live without your truth

And be the true me
To be the true you

Pick the flowers from your floor
Put them in your arms for you my love
Realise my life and more

Say you will 'n' then

Take me home
Make me clear
It feels so much better
Take me home

Anderson/Squire/Howe/White/Sherwood/Khoroshev

Finally... We put it to the test
Dedicate to the true believer in you
Finally... Put it to the test
Finally

Make no mistake to the mainstream
Music be the master planner
Just like the books you read
You'll hear it on your radio scanner

It's not so much what you know
Or who you know that's coming
Its what you do regardless

Anderson/Squire/Howe/White/Sherwood/Khoroshev

Judging by the voice
He was free to himself so real
We slaved ourselves to sacrifice
More than that we do not know
Then you hear him on the radio
He would play the sacred themes
That my children sang to me

Amazing as it seems
It was the answer to my dream
His heart that touches me
More than that I do not not know

Anderson/Squire/Howe/White/Sherwood/Khoroshev

I speak from some sort of protection of learning
Even tho' I make it up as I go on
A special trait is that I've tried
To reach all feelings
So I speak a new language of love

Some say that it is written in the circle
Others that it is written in the sun
But I protect myself by seeing this experience
As a metaphor for moving on

Anderson/Squire/Howe/White/Sherwood/Khoroshev

On a beach
North Africa
Nine tribesmen stand alone
Waiting for a distant call
Waiting for the world to answer
Thru' the night of a thousand stars
Encircled by the light
They began to sing a new song
Of forces that surround us

Nine voices
This dialogue
Nine voices
Singing as one
Nine voices
This dialogue
Nine voices

Anderson/squire/howe/white/sherwood/khoroshev

Not a lot is missing
Every ounce of treasure found
And I believe that everyone should get what
Theyâre allowed
Suspected of belief that comes suspended
In a sound
And everybody wants some

Itâs the sound they make in heaven
Itâs a sound for here on earth
Iâve heard it in the whispering
Of the wonders that we search

Anderson/Squire/Howe/White/Sherwood/Khoroshev

Nothing can take us far enough emotion
Far enough together
As the light shines so bright
Bright enough to let us in

Nothing can bridge our souls' devotion
Fast enough together
As the power proves you right
Right enough to let you begin

So many displaced among the future dreamers
Realized their doubles
Took a new step

Anderson/Squire/Howe/White/Sherwood/Khoroshev

Finally... We put it to the test
Dedicate to the true believer in you
Finally... Put it to the test
Finally

Make no mistake to the mainstream
Music be the master planner
Just like the books you read
You'll hear it on your radio scanner

It's not so much what you know
Or who you know that's coming
Its what you do regardless
