Ladder Lyrics by Sophie Sanders

Steep and Shining Spaces

2018

If there's one thing I know I don't
It's what on Earth this world is spinnin' toward
When some white man's Lord
Swings a sword at boys and girls
Of different colors
With sufferin' mothers and
Innocent brothers
Why don't we show each other
Dark'll bring the night
Light'll light a candle
Bluster shuts the door
Faith'll find the handle
Doubt'll say we can't
Hope won't let it matter
Hate'll build a wall
Love'll build a ladder
Love'll build a ladder
Bitter lays the wrongs up one by one
'Til they're reachin' freedom high
Be the blue dove breeze with enough strength
To sail our sisters to the other side
Of the hurt and fear
Of the tired and tears
Of the waitin' for years and still needin' to hear
Dark'll bring the night
Light'll light a candle
Bluster shuts the door
Faith'll find the handle
Doubt'll say we can't
Hope won't let it matter
Hate'll build a wall
Love'll build a ladder
Love'll build a ladder
Love will build a ladder tall
Way up over any wall
'Cause love is light and love has wings
And love ain't scared to stand and sing
Dark'll bring the night
Light'll light a candle
Bluster shuts the door
Faith'll find the handle
Doubt'll say we can't
Hope won't let it matter
Hate'll build a wall
Love'll build a ladder
Love'll build a ladder
Love'll build a ladder
Love'll build a ladder
Love'll build a ladder
Love'll build a ladder
