lyrics

I was sleeping when you woke me
There before me I saw angels climbing Jacob's ladder
They would rise and they would fall

And below them stood the people with their hands up in the air
They cried for you but they could not see beyond the darkness there

And I saw you above watching in your home all made of light
You were covered all in beauty but there was aching in your eyes
On Jacob's ladder

So you dressed in cloth and ashes and you climbed down like a man
And you cried with all those people yes you cried like all of them
And you held them like a father and you bled 'til you ran dry
You washed them in your tears like rivers 'til they turned and saw your light

And you took their hands and led them where only angels could go through
Now we are climbing Jacob's ladder we are climbing it with you

On Jacob's ladder
