Stairway To Heaven
Alexander Zoltan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh 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 meanings.
In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.
There'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 standing looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.
And 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 laughter.
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 on.
And it makes me wonder.
Your 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 ev'rything 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 roll.
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.

In case you don't know,
If you are unaware

The musician is beckoning you to accompany him


Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow,
Madame, can you perceive the sound of the wind?


And did you know
Were you aware


Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.
Your pathway is through the winds' whispers.


And as we wind on down the road
As we proceed down the street


Our shadows taller than our soul.
Our shadows appear bigger than our souls.


There walks a lady we all know
There strolls a well-known lady


Who shines white light and wants to show
Who glows radiantly and is eager to display


How ev'rything still turns to gold.
How everything still turns valuable.


And if you listen very hard
And if you listen carefully


The tune will come to you at last.
The melody will eventually reverberate within you.


When all are one and one is all
When everyone is united, and everything is connected


To be a rock and not to roll.
To be firm and unshakable.


And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
And she is purchasing an access point to paradise.
