Stairway to Silence
There's a cure safe and sure
Education is gold
And it's building a stairway to science
When we get there we know
If the stories are all false
With a word we can get what we came for
Oh oh oh oh and we're building a stairway to science
There's still hope on the road
But we need to be sure
Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
Find yourself in the books
Sink to learn, learn to think
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiving
Ooh, it makes me wonder
That's a feeling I get
When I look at this mess
And my spirit is dying for learning
In my thoughts, I have seen
Signs of hope in the breeze
And the voices of those who standing looking
Ooh, it really makes me wonder
And it's whispered that soon
If we all call the tune
Then the teachers will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the planet will echo with laughter
But there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Should be alarmed now
It's the last spring clean for the knowing
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's no time to change the road you're on
And it makes me wonder
Your head is humming and it won't go
In case you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear buddy, can you hear the wind blow
And did you know
Our stairway falls in the twittering wind
And as we wind on down the road
The shadows grow more than our soul
There lies a nightmare we all know
Who shines dark light and wants to grow
For everything to turn to mold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all is sham and sham is all
Forget science and then fall
And we're climbing the stairway to silence
