Once upon a time in the land of Sinaplenty
There lived a king who didn't deserve to be
He knew not where he came from nor where he was going
He never once said thank you, never please

Now, this king he had a subject named Electra
Who loved him with a passion, uncontested
For him each day she had a smile but it didn't matter
The king was looking for the ladder

Everybody's lookin' for the ladder
Everybody wants salvation of the soul
The steps you take are no easy road
But the reward is great for those who want to go

A feelin' of selfworth will caress you
The size of the whole wide world will decrease
The love of God's creation will undress you
And time spent alone my friend, will cease

Everybody's lookin' for the answers
And how the story started and how it will end
What's the use in half a story, half a dream
You have to climb all the steps in between, yeah we ride

I said, everybody, everybody's lookin' for the ladder
Everybody wants salvation of the soul
The steps you take are no easy road it's not that easy
The reward is great for those who want to go, I do

Everybody, everybody's lookin' for the answers
Everybody wants to know how the story started and how it will end
What's the use in half a story, half a dream
You, you gotta climb, you got to climb all the steps in between

Everybody, everybody's lookin' for that ladder
Everybody wants salvation of the soul
The steps you take are no easy road, that's for sure
The reward is great for those who want to go
Those who want to go

Everybody, everybody wants an answer
Anyone who know how the story started
How it will end, will it be lonely in the world?
What's the use?
