Lyrics
Well, son, I’ll tell you: Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair It’s had tacks in it And splinters And boards torn up And places with no carpet on the floor— Bare But all the time I’se been a-climbin’ on And reachin’ landin’s And turnin’ corners And sometimes goin’ in the dark Where there ain’t been no light So boy, don’t you turn back Don’t you set down on the steps ’Cause you finds it’s kinder hard Don’t you fall now— For I’se still goin’, honey I’se still climbin’ And life for me ain’t been no crystal stair
