Everyday we're livin' is a gift that God has given are you livin' it in harmony or strife
Are you lovin' and forgivin' are you shovin' and belittlin' as you climb the ladder of life

The ladder of life is a thing we all must climb and it aint always lovely and sublime

so gird up your loins jingle your few coins dont worry if the next guy seems so high
dont try to skip a rung you'll find it cant be done as you climb the ladder of life

the 1st step that you take aint one that you can fake you need to pray and repent of your sin
step #2 you need to meet the one that's true 'cause Jesus is where this life begins'

The ladder of life is for each of us to climb if you got a million or a dime

you need to start real low take it humble as you go as you go up the ladder of life
you need to start real low take it steady take it slow as you climb the ladder of life

Everyday we're livin' is a gift that God has given are you livin' it in harmony or strife
Are you lovin' and forgivin' are you shovin' and belittlin' as you climb the ladder of life
