Lyrics
Give me a ladder, cause I'm reaching for the sky

The path is clear, no need to fear
The way forward is clear, and there's no reason to be afraid or hesitant.
I'm not Leaving you behind

I could love you, in my own way
Expressing the willingness to love in a unique or unconventional manner.
It might not be the kind that you had in mind
Acknowledging that the love offered may not fit conventional expectations.
Sometimes you gotta make a change
Recognizing the need for change in certain situations.
Don't you want to make a change
Encouraging the idea of making positive changes.
It's not easy to make a change

Why you acting so surprised?

You played the game, now come on boy, enjoy your prize

Why can't we meet on equal ground?

It might be hard, and I feel it too
Acknowledging the difficulty of the situation and empathizing.
