Whose ramp is this I must walk down
Like nothing else I’ve ever found
My heart begins to palpitate
I fear a tumble to the ground
I’m not sure I’ll negotiate
A way around my sorry fate
I’d disappear without a trace
If only I could escalate
The sweat is pouring down my face
I wish I’d never seen this place
Now slowly, slowly I will creep
Until I reach my own safe space
This ramp is very long and steep
I must contain my urge to weep
So have I sown so must I reap
So have I sown so must I reap
