Stairs to Life

Once that day bright had came
I cried aloud
What is this place?
Who are you?
Your familiar face

She said don't worry
It will be alright
It's a beautiful thing
I will hold you close to me
Squeeze you tight
And give you this name

The people of the world
A new world of destiny
A reality so unreal
It makes you crawl, makes you feel
Alive in the womb
Breathing air so new

More will come to know
Experiences to do
Your mother of birth
In ages dark and gloom
Will have to teach,
Believe she can show you

You are grown as a child
Pouring rivers from eyes
Going to be stupid, young and wild
Soon to be a lover
Not to your mother
Going to rock the car
At a point
Hit it bottom
Hate your bed tonight

Now she's gone
Into the realm
Free from tired
In a winter fire shell

Now you need to close your mind
Turn it down and realize
What do you want
I said what do you want
I will repeat
If you hear me
You will meet and kindly be
From just a quiet little shout
Can't you see that number count?

Grow up tall for yourself
Every day say a prayer
Don't mind those cracked broken stairs
A little creak to make you go
Climb up more into the show
The theatre grows with people told
Time will bury a fallen one
Don't fall down sadly with those
Who had no fun
Said it now, child, let it be done
