The Stairs

In a room above a busy street The echoes of a life The fragments and the accidents Separated by incidents Listened to by walls We share the same spaces Repeated in the corridors Performing the same movements Storey to storey Building to building Street to street We pass each other Storey to storey Building to building Street to street We pass each other Listened to by walls We share the same spaces Repeated in the corridors Performing the same movements The nature of your tragedy Is chained around your neck Do you lead or are you led? Are you sure that you don't care? There are reasons here to give your life And follow in your way The passion lives to keep your faith Though all are different all are great Climbing as we fall We dare to hold on to our fate And steal away our destiny To catch ourselves with quiet grace Storey to storey Building to building Street to street we Pass each other on the stairs Listened to by walls We share the same spaces Repeated in the corridors Performing the same movements Storey to storey Building to building Street to street we Pass each other on the stairs
