I steal through the night, like a songbird in flight,
And I fly to the edge of my meaning.
I'm not sure why I go, or if my step is controlled
yet I feel that my pace is quickening.
And I'm seeking a stairway to heaven.
And I look to the sea which beckons me to be free,
but I know now that "free" brings a burden.
And I look to the sky as a tear leaves my eye,
'Cause I know that my heart is still beating.
It makes me wonder.
I can feel in my bones that which you always condone.
But I know now why you so fear it.
There's a light I can see. It's so painful I bleed,
and this blood is what colors my feeling.
It makes me wonder.
I'm not sure where to hide or who's on my side,
but the eyes in the trees are telling.
And I see that I'm stuck; now my world's run a muck
Though my thoughts just keep tumbling forward.
I feel a million eyes surround me, I know they bound me,
but the comfort there I just can't shake.
I know that we are all just sleeping, I see you weeping
for a life that we're afraid to lead.
And it makes me wonder.
What would it take for us to be free and not so lonely,
If we're tied down by our own chains?
A light lines the path that we're taking, now we awaken
To face the light of the new day.
And do you listen to the wind?
It whispers louder than it sings.
It tells the stories of the old.
Without our fear, life unfolds.
And though we struggle to be free,
Our limitation's all we see.
A transcendence is what we need,
Space to move and air to breathe,
To free our soul and break the mold.
And we're finding a stairway to heaven.
