Like a mother once said to her son in a poem Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair But I'd like to say that it's been some steps Cuz it's definitely leading somewhere There have been trials and tribulations High hurdles and setbacks too There have been times I as so lost and confused I really didn't know what to do But here I am on a higher plane Than I ever would have thought before And the amazing part is I've got so much life left I can't wait to see what's in store so crystal or not, I'm stepping on Cuz my staircase was made just for me He knew exactly how to raise me up With Him is where He wants me to be I have the strength and the courage To tackle this mighty stair Because I know that when I need Him He will always be right there For just as the builder makes strong steps To make sure they never fail He is wise enough to think ahead And install a safety rail I'll hold on to Him when I need Him Even hold on when I think I don't I'll keep stepping up until there's no more steps to climb And I know that when I finish, I'll be with Him, on the most High
