Paula Cole (born April 5, 1968 in Rockport, Massachusetts, USA) is an American singer and songwriter. Among her hits include "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone," "Me," "I Am So Ordinary," "I Believe In Love," and the theme to the WB's hit series "Dawson's Creek," "I Don't Want to Wait." Cole released her debut album, Harbinger, in 1994 with Imago Records. She so entranced the industry with her vocals that she was asked to tour as an opening act for Peter Gabriel; she also appeared with Melissa Etheridge to sing a duet on VH1 though she was not well-known at the time. Harbinger featured songs dwelling on Cole's personal experience with discrimination and unhappiness. The songs were musically lush but driven and bleak.

The Ladder Lyrics
Paula Cole
Climbing, climbing, climbing, climbing...
Look, at how futile this is,
Im so weak, so fragile, so torn.
Going round and round, going inside
To the circle, to the ladder, to the sky
I am climbing a ladder of urgency
Climbing a ladder of hope
Climbing a ladder of my emotions
Climbing a ladder of unraveling rope.
You see, what you want to see,
But Im not, what you wanted, no Im not.
I am only one thing, one thing I see,
One thing I feel.
Chorus
Climbing...
I am only one thing, one thing I see, one thing I feel
I am the ladder.
