A Light in the Dark (Other) by Verse2Verse
Just like the summers I felt as a child With you it's so warm and so safe Come now, together we'll make it, babe We'll leave this terrible place. Because the hating inside it is growing The violence and pain, it can't hide So dark is this world, but it shows me I can make it with you by my side. And the flames that I see, burn with liars Searing everything down to the bone They sure don't care a thing about ours I think it's time that we go. When we sing together, we're stronger We can walk any road in this land It's this place I can't take any longer, babe Somehow it's hard just to stand. Just when you think you're above it The news, it comes tumbling down The one thing that you had no grudge with Is now spreading all over town. Still, it's hard not to close up inside While defending away all the darkness When you're told all your theories are bold lies And the enemy within here is heartless. I'll say with you, I sure have a shot here I'll be able to walk calm and true Even if only for a brief moment To me a moment would do. I know the world won't ever recede back Into the greatness it once should've been I guess there's no fault, in the long run I'll save my blame until then.

Up the ladder: WITH GOD , NOT THEM (11)
Down the ladder: done than said

It started out okay but then just sort of meandered into mediocrity. Shorten it up and try saying what you want to say with less.
