I remember my 9th grade health teacher making us listen to this song at the end of the class. He was trying to reach us bcuz a lot of kids were getting suspended and expelled that year and that was a bad era for that particular high school roughly 80-100 kids were getting expelled at that time every year for like a 3-5 year period give or take and this song stuck with me. Thx Mr. Tysinger.

And when bullets or whatever starts to go out on some place human nature takes over. Or we could put all our money together and intelligence and come up with cures and what not. But we don't. And the winners of wars always change and twist the history of it to their liking. And the whole school system and government is broken. Cause of greed. Cause of human nature.

This song reminds me of them and it really hits. Great song.

As someone who's 25, this song never lost any ounce of relevancy as I was growing up, I'd Imagine the kids nowadays can resonate with it too. And truly, as much as this song is great, the tragedy's the lyrics describe are saddening, it hasn't slowed down, but it's gotten worse with each school shooting, suicide rates among teenagers and those in their 20's have risen. So on, so forth. I worry for those younger than myself.

I never worried about school shootings and suicides when I was growing up. This song hit me hard when I first heard it in 2002. Then on April 16, 2007 I received a call from my son that he was running back to his apartment during a shooting incident at Virginia Tech that resulted in 32 deaths. My son would have been in the classroom where many students died if the shooter had waited until April 17 to start his rampage. This song reverberated in my mind the day of that incident. What has happened to make our youths so violent?

Nobody had any idea that he felt the way he did and I was with him almost every day. It’s a very shitty thing to feel that way you just need to reach out to anybody that will listen. Life isn’t fair especially when you’re young just be kind to everyone, because just being nice and thoughtful to someone can work wonders for them.

This rock song of the '70s might be about going through a portal (a stairway or spiraling, long steps)to the place called Heaven where God and the saints and angels and prophets are. Yet, the meanies, the sinners went there first. And this lady, possibly Mary, mother of God, tried to pay the price to go there. And they wouldn't let her. So, the sinners broke the "Stairway to Heaven". She was very sad, very sad. But, there were others who witnessed it and discussed it quietly among themselves and did know what to do. So that is why the Earth happened as round So, the sinners repented and still are. So, the Christians. the songbird (a dove) and Jesus Christ loved His people and let them into Heaven. The bad guys have to make it up to the good people by giving them everything, everyone, every place they need and have. The bad guys have to suffer a long time until God says, "That's enough! The world is perfect! It is like it was in the beginning until forever! Without sin!"
