STAIRWAY TO HEAVENThere’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 heaven

There’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 misleadingooh, it makes me wonderooh, it makes me wonder

There’s a feeling I get when I look to the westand my spirit is crying for leavingin my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the treesand the voices of those who stand lookingand it makes me wonderreally makes me wonder

And it’s whispered that soon if we all call the tunethen the piper will lead us to reasonand a new day will dawn for those who stand longand the forest will echo with laughter

If there’s a bustle in your hedgerow, don’t be alarmed now,it’s just a spring clean from the may queenyes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long runthere’s still time to change the road you’re onooh, it makes me wonderooh, ooh, it makes me wonder

Your head is humming and it won’t go, in case you don’t knowthe piper’s calling you to join himdear lady, can’t you hear the wind blow, and did you knowyour stairway lies on the whispering wind

And as we wind on down the roadour shadows taller than our soulthere walks a lady we all knowwho shines white light and wants to showhow everything still turns to goldand if you listen very hardthe tune will come to you at lastwhen all is one and one is all, yeahto be a rock and not to roll.

And she’s buying the stairway to heaven
