Stairway To Heaven
G's Incorporated Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

From the time of the darkness
Watch how it sparks
I'm seeing many demons when they pop from the dark
I'm looking for the light but the light has been ignited
And now I'm trying to help it but yet I cannot fight it
The demon's taking over he's got control of
My soul and now I'm falling so won't you grab a hold
Help me up, help me up to the solid ground looking around
Looking around but I'm still dumbfound
I'm trying to find out where can I be well is it
Life or the love or my reality God will you help me
Trying to find a way
I'm looking for the keys and the place of the stairway

There's a lady who's sure that all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word, she can get what she came for
Uuuh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven

Is it money or salvation
Explain my situation
What is the pay for my current occuption
Free upon this Earth to roam where I will
But tell me why tell me why why must I kill
My brothers and my sisters they all see me crying
I'm looking into myself but they still steady dying
I wanna be the shield I wanna be the arms
To take them up and show them that there are other charms
Besides they money's in the pocket
The cars on the road so tell me where you lie
When you hit the crossroads
Heaven or hell or when you find you wishing well
You throw in your quarter watch your spirit as it excells

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
Uuuh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven

Uuuh it makes me wonder
Uuuh it makes me wonder
(I can't understand it the way I feel)
Uuuh it makes me wonder
(I'm looking into to the spirit and I've found)
Uuuh it makes me wonder
(The real deal)

So tell me up and tell me down and hope that I cry
My God, my God will the day ever lie

There's a lady who's sure that all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed




With a word, she can get what she came for
Uuuh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.
