Chorus:
Here we go climbing the stairway to heaven
Here we go walking the road of ecstasy
Taking a load of the whole world off our shoulders
The door is wide open for you
The door is open for me
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Here we go stealing a moment of pleasure
You and I, we're gonna find the pirate's treasure
Here we go. Aw, aw, aw, baby
Oh baby, here we go
Climbing the stairway to heaven
Climbing the stairway to heaven
And we're going step by step together
Step by step. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

    Happy Birthday to Eddie Levert, longtime member and co-lead singer of the legendary O'Jays, born June 16th, 1942. On June 16, 2024 he celebrated his 82nd birthday. By any measure, the O'Jays are one of the most important Soul Music groups of all-time. Whether delivering funky dance music, romantic ballads, or thoughtful social commentary in song

    "Walk with me cause the door is open"...just dayum! The concerts back in the day were the s**t! How much I love them? Went to one of their concerts with jaw swollen from an abcessed tooth...Even though I had been there for the show the night before and having seen them at least 8 times at that point! No one but the Ojays could make me get out in that condition! I was not disappointed!

    There are no singers like this anymore, and it's just sad. I saw them in concert in the late 70's at the Circle Star in Redwood City. It was a fantastic place because no matter where you sat you could see everything and stage went around in a circle. I was sitting in the front row on "Star Aisle" and they were singing this song. When they got to the part where Gerald was doing his wo wo wo and rubbing his body he was looking right at me. I don't scream at concerts, but I could not help myself. Gerald and Walter's voices just meshed. These men could SING!
