 ~Searching~
If Tears could build a highway
and Memories a lane
I'd walk right up to Heaven
and bring you home again..

SEARCHING FOR A STAIRWAY THAT LEADS BEYOND THE MOON
HOPING ,PRAYING EVERDAY, I WILL FIND IT SOON

THAT STAIRWAY LEADS TO PLACES WHERE PUPPIES AND CHILDREN PLAY
A PLACE WITH BUTTERFLYS AND FLOWERS,
NEVER EVER A SAD DAY

FANTASYS ARE PLACES WHERE MANY OF US GO
SOME LOOKING FOR THE RAINBOW, WITH A BIG POT OF GOLD
OTHERS LOOKING JUST FOR SOMEONE TO HOLD

THOSE STAIRS LEAD TO STREETS OF GOLD
WHERE PAIN AND STRIFE ARE NOT KNOWN
WHERE TEARS AND GRIEF, DON'T TORTURE THE SOUL

BEDS ARE MADE OF FLUFFY CLOUDS
LAUGHTER FILLS THE AIR
NO ONE TAKES, EVERYONE SHARES

IF I FIND THOSE STAIRS ONE DAY, I HAVE BUT ONE WISH
TO HOLD MY CHILD ONCE AGAIN, AND GIVE HIM A GREAT BIG KISS
TO TOUCH HIS FACE, TO TOUCH HIS HAIR
TO KNOW HE KNOWS NOTHING OF FEAR

SEARCHING...

I'VE SEARCHED THE WORLD OVER
JUST CAN'T SEEM TO FIND
THAT STAIRWAY THAT LEADS STRAIGHT TO
THAT CHILD OF MINE...

SO I'LL HOLD ONTO MY DREAMS
THAT I'LL SEE YOU ONCE AGAIN
BUT MY SEARCH FOR THAT STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN
WILL NOT EVER END

WHEN MY TIME ON EARTH IS THROUGH
I KNOW THOSE STAIRS I'LL FIND
YOU'LL WELCOME ME HOME INTO YOUR ARMS
AS I  ONCE WELCOMED YOU INTO MINE.

UNTIL THEN
I WILL KEEP SEARCHING..
