One step after another,
we climb the stairway of life.
one struggle after another,
we face.

Nothing can knock us down,
we will just stand back up,
and step another step in front of the other.

We are almost there to the top,
But then all is gone,
and we stop climbing the mountain of life.

All is gone but one golden stairway,
one more stairway to climb.

One more step in front of the other,
climbing Heaven's stairs,
One step after the other.
