There’s a lady who’s sure all that glitters is gold
And she’s buying a stairway to HeavenWhen she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With 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 sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgivenOoh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, makes me wonderThere’s a feeling I get when I look to the West
And my spirit is crying for leavingIn 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 reasonAnd 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
Ohh, whoaYour head is humming, and it won’t go, in case you don’t know
The piper’s calling you to join himDear 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
