[Verse 1]
I’ve traded coal‑dust for a silver seam,
Each rung I rise unwraps another dream.
The echo of the alleys fades to hush,
While halos hum, “Ascend—you’re more than dust.”
[Chorus]
I’m laying my stairway to heaven tonight,
Stone after stone through the trembling night.
Heartbeat’s the hammer, courage the nail,
Climbing till sunrise releases the veil.
[Verse 2]
Old doubts swirl like cinders in my chest,
Yet sparks of belief refuse to rest.
Cloud‑veils part, revealing open sky,
Each step is an answer to “Who am I?”
