Stairway to Heaven
Brave Combo/Tiny Tim Lyrics

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
There's a woman who thinks everything that looks good is worth it without second thoughts

And she's buying a stairway to heaven
She's trying to purchase the way to the afterlife

And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
When she reaches her destination, she's confident everything she needs will be available

With a word she can get what she came for
She believes she has the power to achieve what she wants with just a request

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
She's seen a warning sign but disregards it and seeks assurance nonetheless

And you know sometimes words have two meanings
She's aware that words can have double entendres or can be interpreted differently

In the tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings
The presence of a songbird in the tree by the stream suggests things aren't always as they seem

Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
Sometimes things don't turn out as you expect

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
The character feels an urge to venture off to the west

And my spirit is crying for leaving
Their soul craves for an escape from their current life

In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
The character has imagined foggy images of smoke drifting between trees

And the voices of those who stand looking
The character can hear the echoes of onlookers watching them leave

And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
A rumor suggests that if everyone unites and speaks up together, they can make a change

Then the piper will lead us to reason
A leader or influencer will guide them to logic

And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
The patient ones will experience a new beginning

And the forest will echo with laughter
The woods will respond with mirth

And it makes me wonder
The events make the character curious

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
If there's commotion or chaos within your life

Don't be alarmed now
Don't be afraid

It's just a spring clean for the may queen
It's just a time of rejuvenation for the queen of fertility

Yes there are two paths you can go by
There are two choices to make

But in the long run
In the grand scheme of things

There's still time to change the road you're on
You can still change your path even if you've already started down one

Your head is humming and it won't go because you don't know
You're bothered and can't stop thinking about something because you lack knowledge

The piper's calling you to join him
An alluring person is beckoning you to follow them

Dear lady can't you hear the wind blow and did you know
Can't you feel the breeze and recognize the significance?

Your stairway lies on the whispering wind
The path to your destination is only heard in faint whispers

And as we wind on down the road
As we progress on this journey

Our shadows taller than our souls
Our silhouettes cast huge shadows compared to our souls

There walks a lady we all know
There's a woman everyone is familiar with

Who shines white light and wants to show
This woman emits a pure light and desires to demonstrate

How everything still turns to gold
How everything still has value

And if you listen very hard
If you're attentive enough

The tune will come to you at last
You'll discern the melody eventually

When all are one and one is all
When everyone unites as one

To be a rock and not to roll
Stay unwavering instead of being carried away by the winds of change
