Jacob’s Ladder Lyrics by Leeland

City of God

0

Intro:

1 Verse:
You can't lock it
Into logic or explain it away
I can't put it
In your boxes, it won't fit anyway

1 Pre-Chorus:
I've fought with it, too
I've wrestled with truth
'Til I had to choose, I'm not going crazy
One blink of an eye
One look to the sky
Now I can't deny

Chorus:
I saw lightning and peels of thunder
A terrifying mystery and wonder
I climbed up that ladder to the clouds
And I don't wanna come back down
I don't wanna come back down
Myriads of melodies are ringing
And I can hear my name inside the singing
You call me a fool and a clown
Still I don't wanna come back down
I don't wanna come back down
Back down to the ground

Instrumental:

2 Verse:
If you want it
Then you got it
Come up higher with mе
'Til the world looks
Like a marble
Sinking into thе sea

2 Pre-Chorus:
Just one little step
Let Faith do the rest
You'll never regret Love that's so amazing
Find height after height
Find beauty divine
One glorious sight

Chorus:
I saw lightning and peels of thunder
A terrifying mystery and wonder
I climbed up that ladder to the clouds
And I don't wanna come back down
I don't wanna come back down
Myriads of melodies are ringing
And I can hear my name inside the singing
You call me a fool and a clown
Still I don't wanna come back down
I don't wanna come back down

Interlude:

Bridge:
I don't need no parachute
No, I'm not giving up this view
Finally I found a place
Oh tell me that you're coming too
I don't need no parachute
No, I'm not giving up this view
Finally I found a place
Oh tell me that you're coming too

Chorus:
I saw lightning and peels of thunder
A terrifying mystery and wonder
When you climb up that ladder to the clouds
You'll never wanna come back down
You'll never wanna come back down
Myriads of melodies are ringing
And I can hear my name inside the singing
You call me a fool and a clown
Still I don't wanna come back down
I don't wanna come back down
Back down to the ground

Outro:
Back down to the ground
