Come with me
And we shall run across the sky
And il-lum-inate the night
Oh, oh, oh I will try and guide you
To better times
And brighter days
Don't be afraid
Go up the ladder to the roof
Where we can see heaven much better
Come up the ladder to the roof
Where we can be

MARY:
Where we can be

CINDY:
Where we can be

Closer to heaven

(to heaven stay)

Stay with me
And we shall let expression sing

ALL:
Hear freedom's virtues ringing

Jean:
Can't you hear 'em ringing?

(Background echoes): Ringing!

Oh, oh, oh

ALL:
Memories of yesterday

Yesterday's broken dreams
Don't you know
They'll all fade away
If you'll come up the ladder to the roof
Where we can see heaven much better
Go up the ladder to the roof

Where we can be

MARY:
Where we can be

CINDY:
Where we can be

Closer to heaven
