She stands upon a silver staircase

Way on high.

No one can reach her,

Know what thoughts within her mind.

Emitting light that shines

forever clear and loud,

Her arms reach out to capture

All within her shroud.

So silent, unknowing

Knows not where she is going

Sometime, tomorrow

My soul she will borrow

Lady

Lady

I can but reach out

Try to touch and hold her near

She never seems to listen

To my calling her

What can I do to make

This staircase lose its sheen

A light shines on

The brightest light I've ever seen

If I could only take the chance

To stand by you

Then I could make you see

That what I say is true

You're just afraid of

Being another lost and found

Somebody's angel to be seen

Not make a sound

No way, I'm going

My love for you is slowing

Into, her fire

I'm climbing higher and higher

Lady

Lady

I fall below the standard

That you've come to know

You ain't no lady baby

Didn't I tell you so

Your staircaise stands

A monument to all we hate

Your fire burns so bright

Just twenty years too late.
