Introduction (Natalie) Protect you forever... So scattered... What I promised... With power... Gateway to heaven... Jacob's Ladder Ohhh Chorus (Natalie) Take my hand, I'll protect you forever You left my heart so scattered And I can't leave 'til I've done what I promised To fill your life with power Up, up, up, to the gateway to heaven You'll climb up Jacobs Ladder And I'll be right there at the bottom If there ever is a problem Your soul is all that matters Ohhh, I'll protect you forever My heart is oh so shattered And I can't leave, 'til I've done what I promised To fill your life with power Up, up, up, to the gateway to heaven You'll climb up Jacobs Ladder And I'll be right there at the bottom If there ever is a problem Your soul is all that matters Verse 1 I told you everything about my life because I trusted you I poured my heart into your heart, I couldn't get enough of you Because of you, I'm better, I'm stronger, I put my trust in God To bring us both together, make it even, know it must be odd To hear from me, it's been a while since we ever spoke You cut me out your life, and cracked my heart, but never broke I hold my hope, with God it's possible, you never know And if you fall, I promise, I'll throw down the golden ropes I watched you grow and baby I'm no longer scared for you Cause even though you aren't there for me, I'm there for you I'd give you everything, I told you, none compare to you If that would make you happy, that's what I'm prepared to do I often wonder how your life is, hoping all is well I hope my prayers have been working, thank you Raphael The best I've ever met, Illmatic, it ain't hard to tell That you've been helping me to overcome the depths of hell Chorus (Natalie) We walked down a road among adversity In hopes we'd find forever And broken roads lead to paradise When we walk this road together But the timing wasn't right, and boy, did I put up a fight But the only thing that matters Is the happiness inside, that would fill me up with pride When you climb up Jacob's Ladder Verse 2 You listened to my broken heart and gave my voice a sound They tell me that it's easier the second time around Forgive me for comparisons I drove into the ground Cause I forgive you for the times you always put me down I have some friends who need my guidance, so they go to me I have a family that loves me, staying close to me I'm doing work and gripping rosaries like I'm supposed to be But you make me feel worthless, like I am nobody I adore the girl that you are, that you've become And if you hear this song, I miss you, you're the only one And I'm the man that I am, and I will respect your space You hold a special place in chambers that I can't erase We used to talk into the night just for a couple hours I cross my fingers for that happiness, the world's ours Until that day, I'll pave the way, for the only thing that matters The sight of you as an angel climbing up Jacob's ladder Chorus (Natalie) Take my hand, I'll protect you forever You left my heart so scattered And I can't leave 'til I've done what I promised To fill your life with power Up, up, up, to the gateway to heaven You'll climb up Jacobs Ladder And I'll be right there at the bottom If there ever is a problem Your soul is all that matters
