Seven seconds till the rise

Can't believe I'm still alive

And Heaven was waitin' for me

I thought this would be the end

But I know you'll understand

All that is keepin' me here

I dream of a stairway to the skies

My angel is comin' 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

My senses tell me I have changed

But one thing still remains

I'm torn and the hate still aches

And 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 comin' 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 comin' 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
