Jacob fled from Esau's wrath,
Running from his troubled past,
In the darkness of the night,
Underneath the starry light.

Dream of the stairway, reaching high,
To the heavens, in the sky,
Father's promise, whispered clear,
Blessings falling, ever near.

Lay his head on a stone cold bed, ever near.

Lay his head on a stone cold bed,
Sleeping in the wilderness spread,
In his dreams, a vision grand,
A stairway reaching to the land.

Dream of the stairway, reaching high,
To the heavens, in the sky,
Father's voice, like a gentle stream,
"I'll bless you, Jacob, in your dream."

Dream of the stairway, reaching high,
To the heavens, in the sky,
Father's promise, whispered clear,
Blessings falling, ever near.

Woke from slumber, with a start,
Sleeping in the wilderness spread,
In his dreams, a vision grand,
A stairway reaching in the dark.

A stairway reaching to the land.
A stairway to heaven.
