Come with me, come with me
  and we shall run across the sky.
  We illuminate the night.
  Ohhhh, I, I will try and guide you
  to better times and brighter days.
  Just don't be afraid.
    Come on up the ladder to the roof
  where we can see heaven much better.
  Let's go up the ladder to the roof
  where we can be closer to heaven.
    Stay with me, stay with me
  and we shall let expression sing.
  Hear freedom ringin'.
  Ohhh, memories of yesterday's broken dreams.
  Hey, don't you know, don't you know
  that they are gonna fade away?
  Don't be afraid.
    Come on up the ladder to the roof
  where we can see heaven much better.
  Let's go up the ladder to the roof
  where we can be closer to heaven.
    We'll laugh, I'll tell you the story of love.
  How it is, the happiness in it, baby.
  We combine these thoughts and together we will travel
  to the fountain of lovingness.
  I will never, never, never, never,
  never leave you, baby.
  As we grow older and older and older, babe.
    Standing strong we'll say:
  Say, don't you wanna go?
  Say, don't you wanna go?
  Say, don't you wanna go?
  Say, don't you wanna go?
  Say, don't you wanna go?
  Say, don't you wanna go?
  Say, don't you wanna go?
  Say, don't you wanna go
    up the ladder to the roof
  where we can see heaven much better.
  Let's go up the ladder to the roof
  where we can be closer to heaven.
    Let's go up the, up the, up the ladder to heaven.
  Heaven, heaven, heaven, heaven.
