THERE IS A STAIRWAY RISING TO THE SKY
I HAVE WALKED IT MANY TIMES
EACH TIME I CLIMB TO THE TOP I BEGIN TO CRY
FOR THE GATE WON’T OPEN… WON’T LET ME IN
MY HEART IS COLD BUT NOT WITH SIN
THERE IS A STAIRWAY RISING TO THE SKY
I HAVE WALKED IT MANY TIMES
EACH TIME I CLIMB TO THE TOP I BEGIN TO CRY
FOR THE GATE WON’T OPEN…WON’T LET ME IN
PLEASE GOD LET ME IN… GIVE ME ONE MORE TIME
AFTER ALL THE STAIRS I HAVE CLIMBED
LET ME HAVE JUST FIVE MINUTES MORE
WITH THE CHILD YOU GAVE AS A GIFT
THEN TOOK AWAY AND LEFT SUCH A RIFT
THERE IS A STAIRWAY RISING TO THE SKY
I HAVE WALKED IT MANY TIMES
EACH TIME I CLIMB TO THE TOP I BEGIN TO CRY
