Seven seconds to the rise

Can't believe I'm still alive

And heaven was waiting for me

I thought this would be the end

But I know you'll understand

All that is keeping me here



I dream of a stairway to the skies

My angel is coming down from heaven to take me

I reach out but then you fade away

Whenever you call for me

Know that I'm only one step behind



I sense this time I may have changed

But one this still remains

I'm torn and the hate still lingers

I slowly start to realize

We won't reunite

I still have to march on through



I dream of a stairway to the skies

My angel is coming down from heaven to take me

I reach out but then you fade away

Whenever you call for me

Know that I'm only one step behind



Is it a curse or a fortune?

Have I been blinded by regret?

Redemption awaits

My soul is at stake

Will I find a stairway to the skies

In the end?



I dream of a stairway to the skies

My angel is coming down from heaven to take me

I reach out but then you fade away

Whenever you call for me

Know that I'm only one step behind

Know that I'm only one step behind
