Chaos is a ladder
And the climb is all there is
It can muddy up the water
Tornadoes of terrible torment
Spinning around and round in circles
Stirring the energy it finds
Making everybody nervous
Confounding hearts, consuming minds
Leaving one to wonder
If there is any place for peace
Into a constant state of wander
To find the source of true release
Until the pounding heart is silenced
And the mind has found its rest
Becoming the spirits pilot
Setting it free to find its rest
Yes, chaos is a ladder
Take it up or take it down
Either way, it doesn’t matter
The journey is the treasure found
