Lyrics
Way up- way up high
Way up- way up high
Way up- way up high
Way up- way up high
I was estranged from you
Feel like a stranger to you
I let you go- felt like a danger to you
My life in shambles- I could ramble for hours
Addiction had me devoured
Put on a face to not come off as a coward
I
Ran from my problems
Took some years to combat my demons
Sat inside my head so long- I can still hear them screaming
I finally felt release when I got the courage to speak
In front of people that resembled my pain
I did so much just to change
Only reflecting on my past so I could learn from mistakes
Your father showed me who he was- and so we went separate ways
I'm sorry that it took so long to tell you this
But you deserve the truth
I held my mothers hand when she entered the upper room
And I fear that I'm due there soon
Laying in this bed- they got me breathing through a tube
I'm sending you this message in hopes that it gets to you
Just text me when you get it, I love you, talk to you soon
The stairway to heaven
Way up- way up high
Way up- way up high
The stairway to heaven
Stairway to heaven
Way up- way up high
Way up- way up high
Stairway
I've had mixed feelings since I was seven
I lived with you- not knowing from you was where I was severed
Suffered in silence when thinking about my origin story
A bastard child that was passed around from New York to Georgia
I made some friends and made choices that I regretted
Bettered myself and stayed away from those that would behead me
Or so I thought
I've been trying to tackle this loss
Came away from a friendship and went to bury my aunt
I went to bury my mother and now I'm holding my heart in my hands
Got back to Topawa knowing that I won't see you again
Felt like a shell when I'm asked- How are you doing
What do I say? Do I lie to drive them away
Drove a wedge in-between us- for years didn't see your face
Driven towards affection- was driving myself insane
So I made myself a promise- I swore I would never break
That my son won't know the same pain- until I hit the stairway
The stairway to heaven
Way up- way up high
Way up- way up high
Stairway to heaven
Stairway to heaven
Way up- way up high
Way up- way up high
Stairway
My way
Way up- way up high
Way up- way up high
Stairway
My way
Way up- way up high
Way up- way up high
Stairway
