Staircase to the Sky

Clouds don’t care

They just float by

Sky's a mirror

I ask it why

Golden gates or just a lie?

Hands reach up

They come back dry

Heaven where are you? where do you hide?

Are you a place or a state inside?

Heaven where are you? tell me why

Staircase to the sky

Oh

Staircase to the sky

Preacher shouts

His voice like gravel

Says the road’s long

Full of travel

But I’ve seen saints unravel

Faith shakes

Like dust on a gavel

Echoes of a promise

Thin as air

I keep searching

But you’re not there

Heaven where are you? where do you hide?

Are you a place or a state inside?

Heaven where are you? tell me why

Staircase to the sky

Oh

Staircase to the sky

Halo dreams

They flicker out

Shadows scream

I twist and shout

No wings

No crown

Just doubt

What’s it all about

What’s it all about?
