Staircase From The Sky by Voo

 Staircase From The Sky

I'm tired of walking through this world

I want to take a rest

I want to stop and rest my head

Upon my savior's chest.

I'm tired of singing endless hymns

I want to praise the name

Stop playing church and packing pews

And playing churchy games.

I'm tired of being sick and tired

I long to be made whole

Sick of failing when I take

My eyes off of the goal.

I'm tired of hungering for the truth

And seeing only lies

Seeing darkness falling down

As light lays there and cries.

I'm tired of being isolated

From family and friends

So close there at the start of life

Such strangers at the end.

I'm tired of working day and night

Not making my ends meet

Passing life in midst of strife

And angels on the street.

I'm tired of being all alone

In a world of lonely hearts

Who look with fear as I draw near

Their eyes like icy darts.

I'm tired of trying to save the world

When it doesn't want to be saved

Wasting time, out of their minds

And hurrying to their graves.

I'm tired of praying ceaselessly

And seeing few results

I need to see some miracles

Less in and more out put.

I'm tired of being human

I want to be set free

I want to fly there in the sky

Be all I'm meant to be.

I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm really tired

This world has got me down

I'm raising my arms up to God

Still standing on the ground.

If I could find a staircase

That leads to Heaven's door

Then I would leave, no more to grieve

And the world'd see me no more.

I am so tired of being here

On this planet that I roam

I want to run on streets of gold

I want to hurry home.

I'm tired of walking in and out

Mud holes in which I'm mired

I want to rest my weary feet

Good Lord, because I'm tired.

If this is selfish, then let it be

You know my inner man

I will not lie or hide from you

I don't know how I can.

So drop a staircase from the sky

In midnight clouds or blue

I'll climb those stairs in record time

Lord, running up to you.

I'm tired of living without you

Existing in your grace

I need to feel your arms of love

I need  to see  your  face.

What's that? You say you are so tired?

Of living without me, too?

But Lord, you see me every day!

'Tis I, that can't see you!

Pardon me, what's that you said?

You're tired of the world?

You say you have a feast prepared

And carpets all unfurled?

Is that for me or everyone?

I want to understand

Oh, that's for me and everyone

Boy, girl, woman and man.......

Well, drop that staircase from the sky!

I'll tell them all to hurry

I'll tell them all about the feast

And Heaven, don't you worry!

Hellllooooo! I cry into the air

But people pass me by

They look at me like I'm a fool

And give the evil eye.

"Supper's ready!" I shout out loud

Our Daddy says 'Come home'

But they just rush on to and fro

And leave me there alone.

I'm tired of preaching to this world

Of blind eyes full of tears

They will not see what I can see

And they have deafened ears.

It hurts me so, fills me with woe

This world with cold hard soul

They settle for a gravel road

And spit on  streets of gold.

I am so tired, I say again......

Then my eyes behold the sight

Of a staircase dropping to the Earth

As the clock chimes out midnight.

And oh, my weary feet do run!

And my soul is filled with light

I take the stairs two at a time

As I disappear from sight.
