Elevator Stage [DON’T JUMP]

Lyrics

Into the elevator, headed up to the top floor A long day, body's all sore Seen a woman, she was standing there Tears running down her face, expression of despair Could've ignored her but that wouldn't be right So I walked up to her all, nice and polite like "Whatever it is, it's gonna be alright" She said, "You don't know me so you don't have the right To try to fill my head with these images of false hope I'm fed up with this life, I done lost hope So I'm takin' this elevator up to the roof And I'ma jump, if you want, you can be the proof" "No ma'am, I don't know you but I can't let you Why you tryna leave now, when I just met you? No laugh? Hey, well it was worth a shot I can see, through your eyes, you've been hurt a lot But we all have, it's not worth taking your life for Don't you know it's something you should fight for? It could be worse," she interrupted me and said "It is, I'm losing my mind, my house and both of the kids Literally, Miss [?] lost both kids Can't sleep 'cause the past things that I did Now you tell me, can you live through that?" I looked at her and I said, "Not exaaaaaactly But I got the Lord on my side So take my hand for the rest of the ride And you ain't gotta worry at all He'll always catch you whenever you fall But that don't mean jump, wait, no! I'm talking metaphorically, but I know you won't 'cause I won't let you I just met you but you special I would hate to live with regret, boo The same schedule, we all go through tribulations Called the business of life, it's only stipulations Wait!" Pressed the button, "We ain't done 'til I break through To the pain, though it hurts but gotta make do" She stopped me and wiped the tear that was 'bout to fall Not from her but from me, she backed me to the wall Put her hand between mine's as we embraced, she said
, "That's all I needed in the first place" "Thank you" "You're welcome"
