Larry Norman – Walking Backwards Down The Stairs lyrics
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
