Verse

 I deGcided on that evening

 That I was Cthrough with sitting still

 I stood Amup and started moving

 With a Cchildlike fascination

 For those Gdoors that don't have locks

 And the Cstairways that were blocked

 So I dug Amthrough the obstruction

 Put my Cfist around the railing

 And each Gstep was far apart

 And far aCway from steps before it

 And the Amair was getting thinner

 Until I Ccouldn't breathe at all

 And if I Ghappened to look behind me

 There were Cmiles and miles of stairs

 Enough so I Amcouldn't see the doorway

 But I Cknew that it was there

 And on the Glast step I was dizzy

 Because there were Cstairs in all directions

 But I Amfound another door

 And through the Cdoor there was the attic

 Without old Gclothes

Without a ceiling

 EveryCthing had opened wide

 Into the Amjaws of something bigger

 And Csuddenly I saw that I was

Chorus

EmUpstairs and Goutside and Cfreezing on the Groof D

EmFinally it had Gfound me

 The Canswer, the Emfeeling, and the Atruth: C

Outro
