One Foot On The Ladder Lyrics

One Foot on the Ladder (Pat Robinson, Brad Coleman) Keep one foot on the ladder One foot on the ground The people you pass ... on your way up ... You'll pass on your way down It's great to be ambitious ... and what you give comes back around But keep one foot on the ladder And one foot on the ground Daddy told me many times, take things nice and slow Don't be in a hurry, to get where you wanna go Life it has a rhythm ... everything in time ... Take the steps ... you need to take But take them one at a time CHORUS #1 Keep one foot on the ladder One foot on the ground The people you pass ... on your way up ... You'll pass on your way down It's great to be ambitious ... and what you give comes back around But keep one foot on the ladder And one foot on the ground The years rolled by and as I grew, I soon became a man And with me grew my appetite, to accomplish all I can Friends got hurt, hearts were torn, but I finally got ahead People said " ... be careful son ... you just might bump your head ... CHORUS #2 I put both feet on the ladder, left nothing on the ground When I finally needed someone ... no one was around And the people I passed on my way up ... Were the people on my way down I should've kept one foot on the ladder And one foot on the ground When you're way up on the ladder, be careful don't look down If you ever need someone ... no one will be around The one's you pass ... on your way up ... Will be there on your way down, You can't have both feet on the ladder And both feet on the ground
