[rest] [Minimal Lyrics] [verse] ..... Climbing higher ... ascending the stairs. ... long way to go ... getting there ... it'll take us a while ... but that's ok ... we'll get to the top ... One day! (one day!) [pre-chorus bridge] oooh-ooh! ooooooh-ooh! aaaaaaaaahh! [chorus] The air will be cleaner, When we get up there. We'll see the stars, At the top of the stairs. (top of the stairs) [drop] [verse 2] we'll start at the bottom ... and work our way up ... we'll take our time ... take our time ... [middle 8] [breakdown] [guitar solo] oooh-ooh! ooooooh-ooh! aaaaaaaaahh! The air is cleaner!.... ... ascending the stairs. ... Feel the breeze..... in your hair! aaaaaaaaaaahh! ... it'll take us a while ... but that's ok (that's ok) ... we'll get to the top ... One day! (one day) [chorus] The air will be cleaner, When we get up there. We'll see the stars, At the top of the stairs. (top of the stairs) [drop] ... we'll take our time ... take our time ... [guitar solo] oooh-ooh! ooooooh-ooh! aaaaaaaaahh! [melodic instrumental] [coda] [fade] [end]
