Lyrics
“Stairway To Heaven”
There’s a lady who’s sure all that glitters is goldAnd she’s buying a stairway to HeavenWhen she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closedWith a word she can get what she came forOoh, ooh, and she’s buying a stairway to HeavenThere’s a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure’Cause you know sometimes words have two meaningsIn a tree by the brook, there’s a songbird who singsSometimes all of our thoughts are misgivenOoh, makes me wonder
Ooh, makes me wonderThere’s a feeling I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand lookingOoh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, really makes me wonderAnd it’s whispered that soon if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughterOh-oh-oh-oh-whoa
If there’s a bustle in your hedgerow, don’t be alarmed, now
It’s just a spring clean for the May queen
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There’s still time to change the road you’re onAnd it makes me wonder
Oh, whoaYour head is humming and it won’t go, in case you don’t know
The piper’s calling you to join him
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow? And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to rollAnd she’s buying a stairway to Heaven
