[Verse 1]
Come with me
And we shall run across the sky
And illuminate the night
Oh, oh, oh, I will try and guide you
To better times and brighter days
Don't be afraid
[Chorus]
Come up the ladder to the roof
Where we can see heaven much better
Come up the ladder to the roof
Where we can be (Where we can be)
Closer to heaven (To heaven, stay)
[Verse 2]
Stay with me
And we shall let expression sing
(Keep freedom's virtues ringin')
Can't you hear 'em ringin'? (Ringin', ringin')
Oh, oh, oh (Memories of yesterday)
Yesterday's broken dreams
Don't you know they'll all fade away
[Chorus]
If you'll come up the ladder to the roof
Where we can see heaven much better
Come up the ladder to the roof
Where we can be, oh (Where we can be)
Closer to heaven
[Bridge]
We'll laugh and I'll tell you the story of love
How it is, and the happiness in it, baby
We'll combine our thoughts
And together we'll travel the roads
To the fountain of loveliness
I will never, ever, ever leave you
Leave you alone to wonder
As we go on, our love, it will grow (It will grow)
Much stronger and stronger
Don't you wanna go
[Chorus]
Up the ladder to the roof
Where we can see heaven much better
Up the ladder to the roof
Where we can be closer to heaven
[Outro]
Oh, up the (Up the)
Ooh-ooh, up the (Up the)
Oh, come on and walk (Walk)
Come on and talk (Talk)
Come on and sing about love and understanding
Ooh, ooh, ooh (Up the ladder to the roof)
Ooh, ooh, ooh (See heaven)
Ooh, ooh, ooh (Go up the ladder to the roof)
Ooh, ooh, ooh (See heaven)

“Up the Ladder to the Roof” made me feel as if I was singing in heaven. If music videos were being made then, I could see us at the top of this ladder with a huge puff of clouds. The strings seemed to floating from the top of the universe as Cindy and I were interwoven with them and Jean. There was...
