Jacob’s Ladder

Introduction (Natalie)
Protect you forever...
So scattered...
What I promised...
With power...
Gateway to heaven...
Jacob's Ladder
Ohhh

Chorus (Natalie)
Take my hand, I'll protect you forever
You left my heart so scattered
And I can't leave 'til I've done what I promised
To fill your life with power
Up, up, up, to the gateway to heaven
You'll climb up Jacobs Ladder
And I'll be right there at the bottom
If there ever is a problem
Your soul is all that matters

Ohhh, I'll protect you forever
My heart is oh so shattered
And I can't leave, 'til I've done what I promised
To fill your life with power
Up, up, up, to the gateway to heaven
You'll climb up Jacobs Ladder
And I'll be right there at the bottom
If there ever is a problem
Your soul is all that matters

Verse 1
I told you everything about my life because I trusted you
I poured my heart into your heart, I couldn't get enough of you
Because of you, I'm better, I'm stronger, I put my trust in God
To bring us both together, make it even, know it must be odd
To hear from me, it's been a while since we ever spoke
You cut me out your life, and cracked my heart, but never broke
I hold my hope, with God it's possible, you never know
And if you fall, I promise, I'll throw down the golden ropes
I watched you grow and baby I'm no longer scared for you
Cause even though you aren't there for me, I'm there for you
I'd give you everything, I told you, none compare to you
If that would make you happy, that's what I'm prepared to do
I often wonder how your life is, hoping all is well
I hope my prayers have been working, thank you Raphael
The best I've ever met, Illmatic, it ain't hard to tell
That you've been helping me to overcome the depths of hell

Chorus (Natalie)
We walked down a road among adversity
In hopes we'd find forever
And broken roads lead to paradise
When we walk this road together
But the timing wasn't right, and boy, did I put up a fight
But the only thing that matters
Is the happiness inside, that would fill me up with pride
When you climb up Jacob's Ladder

Verse 2
You listened to my broken heart and gave my voice a sound
They tell me that it's easier the second time around
Forgive me for comparisons I drove into the ground
Cause I forgive you for the times you always put me down
I have some friends who need my guidance, so they go to me
I have a family that loves me, staying close to me
I'm doing work and gripping rosaries like I'm supposed to be
But you make me feel worthless, like I am nobody
I adore the girl that you are, that you've become
And if you hear this song, I miss you, you're the only one
And I'm the man that I am, and I will respect your space
You hold a special place in chambers that I can't erase
We used to talk into the night just for a couple hours
I cross my fingers for that happiness, the world's ours
Until that day, I'll pave the way, for the only thing that matters
The sight of you as an angel climbing up Jacob's ladder

Chorus (Natalie)
Take my hand, I'll protect you forever
You left my heart so scattered
And I can't leave 'til I've done what I promised
To fill your life with power
Up, up, up, to the gateway to heaven
You'll climb up Jacobs Ladder
And I'll be right there at the bottom
If there ever is a problem
Your soul is all that matters
