Stairway To Nowhere
There's a stairway
It leads upwards
To where it goes
I don't know
I begin walking
this winding stairway
Where will it take me
I give it no thought
Does it lead to paradise
Is it my way straight to Heaven
Only one way to know
So it's up i go
But the further i walk
The higher i go
I see no end in sight
Is there a final destination
What is this madness
There's gotta be an end
I can't keep walking forever
In this pointless direction
I feel so alone
Walking this path by myself
But I don't see or hear
Another soul here or there
But yet i continue walking
I want to see how or when this ends
Because much like life itself
There's a beginning and an end
So like many before me
Who've started their own life journeys
Like Dante who traveled the three plains
Like Jacob climbing his ladder
I'll keep going up
Moving farthar and higher
Till i make it there
My journey continues
