[intro] [verse] (Instrumental Solo) [verse] Moonlight spills upon the floor Waiting by the locked door Stars align in rows above Searching for a sign of love [verse] Clouds dissolve into the gray Night turns slowly into day Whispers float on empty air Nothing left but silence there [pre-chorus] Reach up high beyond the sky Watch the world go drifting by Gravity begins to fade Steps are made in light and shade [chorus] Build a ladder of silver bright Climbing through the endless night Touch the edge of morning dew Find a path that leads to you Silver rungs beneath my feet Where the earth and heaven meet [Interlude – melodic guitar solo, heavy reverb] (Instrumental Solo) [verse] Shadows lengthen on the wall Hear the distant echoes call Every step is fragile glass Watching all the moments pass [pre-chorus] Reach up high beyond the sky Watch the world go drifting by Gravity begins to fade Steps are made in light and shade [chorus] Build a ladder of silver bright Climbing through the endless night Touch the edge of morning dew Find a path that leads to you Silver rungs beneath my feet Where the earth and heaven meet [bridge] Higher than the birds can fly Closer to the open sky Do not look down at the ground Lost within this sacred sound [Guitar Solo – soaring melody, distorted yet clean] (Instrumental Solo) [chorus] Build a ladder of silver bright Climbing through the endless night Touch the edge of morning dew Find a path that leads to you Silver rungs beneath my feet Where the earth and heaven meetSilver fades into the white Lost within the morning light
