Larry Norman - Walking Backwards Down The Stairs

Walking backwards down the stairs
trying to get higher
how can I get anywhere
walking backwards down the stairs

watching life elude me
slipping through my grasp
oh I know the truth at last
but to reach the top I've
got to stop from

walking backwards down the stairs
trying to get higher
how can i get anywhere
walking backwards down the stairs

people stop to watch me
wonder what I'm doing
what direction I'm pursuing
I pretend I'm free
but actually I'm

walking backwards down the stairs
trying to get higher
how can I get anywhere
walking backwards down the stairs
