B. r. hornsby/john hornsby

I met a fan dancer down in southside birmingham
She was running from a fat man selling salvation in his hand
She said he’s tryin’ to save me
But i’m doin’ alright, the best that i can
Just a pair of fallen angels tryin’ to get through the night

Step by step, one by one, higher and higher
Step by step, one by one, climbing jacob’s ladder

Comin’ over the airwaves the man says i’m overdue
Sing a song, send money, join the chosen few
But mister i’m not in a hurry, and i don’t want to be like you
All i want from tomorrow is to get it better than today

Step by step, one by one, higher and higher
Step by step, one by one, climbing jacob’s ladder

All i want from tomorrow is to get it better than today
Step by step, one by one, higher and higher
Step by step, one by one, climbing jacob’s ladder

(tony martin/carl sweat/brenda sweat)

Jacob was a dirt poor farm boy
Raised at the fork in the road in a clapboard house
And rachael was a land baron’s daughter
Born with a silver spoon in her mouth
Her daddy said he wouldn’t stand
For rachael to waste her life with a common man
He tried hard to keep them apart
But you can’t draw lines in a young girl’s heart

So late one night by the harvest moon
Jacob climed a ladder up to rachael’s room
He knew his place, it was right beside her
Step by step up to her world
Head over heels for a brown-eyed girl
And gettin’ caught didn’t seem to matter
‘cause heaven was waitin’ at the top of jacob’s ladder

It’ll be five years september
Since her daddy found a ladder and a note on her windowsill
He swore he’d never forgive them
But nothin’ melts a heart like a grandchild will
Now she climbs up on his knee
Says, "grandpa, tell a story, the one about me"
He thinks back and his eyes shine
Says, "listen child, once upon a time"

Late one night by the harvest moon
Your daddy climbed a ladder to your mama’s room
He knew his place, it was right besde her
Step by step up to her world
Head over heels for my little girl
And here you are, that’s all that matters
‘cause heaven was watin’ at the top of jacob’s ladder

Oh, an angel was waitin’ at the top of jacob’s ladder

Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson

The clouds prepare for battle
In the dark and brooding silence
Bruised and sullen stormclouds
Have the light of day obscured
Looming low and ominous
In twilight premature
Thunderheads are rumbling
In a distant overture

All at once,
The clouds are parted
Light streams down
In bright unbroken beams

Follow men’s eyes
As they look to the skies
The shifting shafts of shining
Weave the fabric of their dreams…

Seems no matter how I try
My Jacob’s ladder in the sky
Has all the fallen angels climbing down

Cross my heart and hope to live
Number one on my wish list
If the angels get here they’ll come round

To stop me pushing this ice block up hill
From running flat out to stand still
I would give the shirt off my back
I’d gladly make a deal
With any of the angels to change how I feel

I would hand over my soul
I’d relinquish all control
To any of the angels climbing down

Not fourteen more years of this
Stranded in the wilderness
If the angels get here send them round

To stop me from pushing this ice block up hill
From running flat out to stand still
I would give the shirt off my back
I’d gladly make a deal
With any of the angels to change how I feel

It’s not like I’ve stolen someone else’s blessing
Love’s still blind and maybe that’s the lesson

Stop me from pushing this ice block up hill
From running flat out to stand still
Stop me from pushing this ice block up hill
From running flat out to stand still
I would give the shirt off my back
I’d gladly make a deal
With any of the angels to change how I feel

I would give the shirt of my back to any of the angels
