Walking Backwards Down the Stairs - Larry Norman

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
