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
