Stairway to Heaven
Heart Lyrics

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
There's a woman who is convinced that everything that appears valuable is indeed valuable.

And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
She is attempting to purchase a means of accessing a paradise-like place.

When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
She is already aware that if the usual access methods are unavailable, she has an alternate means.

With a word she can get what she came for
She has the means of acquiring whatever her goal was just by saying a single word.

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
Even though there is an indication of what to do she still wants to verify.

'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
She understands that at times language can be ambiguous and can convey multiple interpretations.

In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings
The woman observes a singing bird located in a tree near the stream.

Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
On occasion, all of our obtained knowledge is actually incorrect.

There's a feelin' I get when I look to the west
When I look towards the horizon, I experience a particular sensation.

And my spirit is crying for leavin'
My soul is yearning to depart from my present location.

In my thoughts I have seen, rings of smoke through the trees
In my mind I have witnessed circular patterns of smoke among the foliage.

And the voices of those who stand lookin'
Additionally, I can hear the voices of individuals that are observing.

And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
It is rumored that if we all contribute to a collective melody we can create change.

Then the piper will lead us to reason
If this speculation is correct, then an unknown figure will guide us to a solution.

And the new day will dawn for those who stand long
A new beginning will be granted for those who persevere through trying times.

And the forests will echo with laughter
Nature itself will resonate with sounds of amusement.

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now
Do not be alarmed if there are commotions within a barrier of shrubbery.

It's just a spring clean for the May queen
It is simply an annual cleaning before a specific celebration for a monarch in May.

Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There exists multiple choices and directions, but eventually,

There's still time to change the road you're on
One can still change their course of action.

Your head is hummin' and it won't go, in case you don't know
You have a recurring notion that is difficult to stop, in case it wasn't apparent.

The piper's calling you to join him
Metaphorically, an unknown entity beckons you to follow them.

Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know?
Hey, woman, do you perceive the blowing wind? And were you aware that...

Your stairway lies on the whisperin' wind
Your access to your desired location is located among the soft noises in the current air flows.

And as we wind on down the road
And as we gradually progress down this path,

Our shadows taller than our soul
Our silhouettes are longer than the essence of ourselves.

There walks a lady we all know
There strides an unnamed woman that we are all familiar with.

Who shines white light and wants to show
This lady emits a bright, luminous light and possesses a desire to illustrate something.

How everything still turns to gold
How everything can be transformed into something of worth.

And if you listen very hard
If you pay intense attention,

The tune will come to you at last
The melody will eventually reach you.

When all are one and one is all
When we become unified and our individuality combines,

To be a rock and not to roll
To become steadfast and unshakeable, rather than unstable.

And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
And this woman is still purchasing a means of entering the paradise-like location, known as Heaven.
