Jacob's Ladder Lyrics

This song has absolutely nothing to do with religion or philosophy. It is a simple and pure piece of descriptive writing created by Neil when he was inspired by a thunder storm and the natural phenomenon called "Jacob's Ladder" that occured afterwards and the sheer beauty of those sun beams breaking through the clouds.

THERE'S NOTHING MORE TO IT THAN THAT. STOP LOOKING FOR WHAT ISN'T EVEN THERE.

@Blaze_Infernus close. It's about the sunlight peaking through clouds in the aftermath of a storm. The title came from Geddy's in-laws.

@Blaze_Infernus @tragicEushFan Inspired by that, yes. Only one small stanza is actually about that part. You're completely ignoring the entire first verse, describing the storm leading up to it.
