Punch the Clouds

Punch the clouds

The dark and heavy clouds

Are gathering, as they often do –

Can you hold the ladder still, please –

As I climb to the top

And if I should fall,

(As I have done,

So many times, before),

Be not afraid,

Just hold the ladder still, again

And I shall rise once more,

And when I reach the top,

I will punch a hole

Through those bleak clouds

And the sunshine will fall

And warm my soul,

And bring the smile

Back to your beautiful face
