The Stairs lyrics

In a room above a busy street

The echoes of a life

The fragments and the accidents

Separated by incidents

Listen to by the walls

We share the same spaces

Repeated in the corridors

Performing the same movements

Story to story

Building to building

Street to street

We pass each other on the stairs

Story to story

Building to building

Street to street

We pass each other on the stairs

Listen to by the 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 lead

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

Story to story

Building to building

Street to street

We pass each other on the stairs

Listen to by the walls

We share the same spaces

Repeated in the corridors

Performing the same movements

Story to story

Building to building

Street to street

We pass each other on the stairs
