Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Climbing the stairway to heaven
Here we go
Walking the road of ecstasy
Taking the load
Of this whole world off our shoulders
The door is wide open for you
Here we go
Still in a moment of pleasure
You and I
We are gonna find the pirates treasure
Here we go
Oh baby, here we go
Climbing the stairway to heaven
Climbing the stairway to heaven
And we are going step by step
Together, step by step
Climbing the stairway to heaven
Climbing the stairway to heaven
And we are going step by step
Together, step by step
Put your hand, lean closer
Don't you wanna go
Don't you wanna go
In our own little corner of the world

My 10 y.o grandson asked for this as his song choice. It speaks volumes.
He's had a good loving environment; but his mother treats him poorly for no reason. He has to witness his younger brother get preferential treatment and still he's his protector.
You couldn't ask für a better big brother despite the incredible lack of concern from his mom.
That's where his aunt, great grandparents and myself give him the attention, love and care he needs.
I was flooded with tears when I his aunt told me he requested this song. The same day, his mother spitefully removed him and his brother from our home where he knew he was secure and safe.
Pray for him, them and US!! My next step is get him back. My daughter, his mother has no stable home other than the one she chose to leave.
It touched me too deeply. That's the fire I need to put all my energies into getting them to a safe haven again.

I'm standing here next to my dad who just passes away about an hour ago. This song came to my mind because as the sun rose the rays came thru the window so bright the nurse came and said she'd never seen it so bright in any of the rooms. She looked at me and said im sorry your dad has passed. I know now why it was so bright in here. God had opened the pathway for him to cross over into Heaven today 8/9/2022 1 day after his 83rd Bday. Love you always dad.. Sidney Beckom R.I.P.
