The Stair
Have you seen the darkness fall?
Or heard the warblers cry and call?
Have you tasted sadness and sorrow?
Have you felt the warmth of tomorrow?
Take my hand, I'll lead you there.
To this long ascending stair.
We'll climb forever, climb above it all.
Then we'll jump, but we will never fall.
Take a breath, dive into oceans deep.
Close your eyes, fall into eternal sleep.
Take my hand, I'll lead you there.
To this long ascending stair.
We'll climb forever, climb for truth and love.
We could fly high, fly high like a dove.
Close your eyes, listen to it all.
Hear the voices rise and fall.
Take my hand, I'll lead you there.
To this long ascending stair.
View the oceans, their glasslike reflections.
Take your time, cherrish your recollections.
We'll travel far, too far for some.
Spread your wings, try to become.
Take my hand, I'll lead you there...
To this long ascending stair...
Have you seen the darkness fall?
Or heard the warblers cry and call?
Have you tasted sadness and sorrow?
Have you felt the warmth of tomorrow?
Climb this stair...Let me lead you there...
