It is my ladder to the Gods

High above where they watch over

Closer to faith, hope, and joy

Sullen peace where the world passes by

I watch the ground seen through God's eyes

See the beauty of a world with life

Though it feels like I am so far away

Distances and miles and years and each day

I see the strife in all these lives

I try my best to close God's eyes

Don't need to see the blood shed

The last crusade

We're we will ourselves to do so

in God's Holy name

Tyrants, thieves, Hypocrisy

Hatred, Ignorance, and Envy

All I could see through God's eyes

Anger, Justification

Answers we all need

Yet it seems blind to me

Built to be a foundation,

A protection from ice

Built to be a foundation,

a protection from malice

Keep me solid overhead

Yet it seems to be just or dead

Why doesn't it protect dear God's eyes?

Why are they still open for everything to see?

Is it the stars that fall?

Or the trees that grow tall?

Or is it just that you are a Guardian?

Protecting our hearts from a tainted world

Maybe that's why you're just so high

Maybe that's why you want to watch the world go by

Amiss the problems that lay,

You still seem to find the peace

Maybe the right way
