The man at the top takes a moment to stop
And admire the breathtaking view
The man at the bottom soaks his foot in a puddle
And dreams of a new pair of shoes
There's a thousand foot ladder from the bottom to the top
And you can make it if you want to
But if you've got money, you can check into the lobby
There's an elevator straight to the roof
Where are you?
Brand new shoes
Make it by
Climb up high
Now I digress, and take a moment to express
It isn't all black and white
There's a fair few fellow having wine and caviar
Who didn't get there without a fight
But even then all the men and women look away
When they all know what to do
So if you're climbing to the top, stop and ask yourself
What are you willing to lose
Where are you?
Brand new shoes
Make it by
Climb up high
