Marble steps

I climb the marble stairs that lead away
away from everything i used to know
i try to keep my eyes down on the way
the way my mother told me not to go
Well all i ever wanted was
a hand to hold me down
to keep the sky from swallowing me up
and all i ever needed was someone to come around
and tell me that i’ve suffered long enough
So take me away
find me a home
i'm on my way
i'm on my way
I wonder when i’ll see the stars again
i thought that they had faded long ago
with every step i’m closer to the end
i'm climbing 'cause i don't know where to go
Well all i ever wanted was
a place to store my faith
i thought that i could keep it locked away
it burns my eyes to look at him
and see the truth inside
and so i turn my broken face away
So take me away
find me a home
i'm on my way
i'm on my way
I always dreamed of sundays together with you
only your echoes can break my heart
i need a hand to hold me, to keep me on land
i fear i’m drifting too far apart
Well all i ever wanted was
a hand to hold me down
to keep the sky from swallowing me up
and all i ever needed was someone to come around
and tell me that i’ve suffered long enough
Oh, take me away
find me a home
i'm on my way
i'm on my way
I'm on my way
on my way
i'm on my way
and now i’m gone
i'm gone
i'm on my way
