Stairway to Heaven
LED ZEPPELIN Lyrics

There's a lady who's sure
A confident woman believes she knows the way to Heaven.

All that glitters is gold
She is drawn to flashy things, but they may not hold true value.

And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
She is pursuing a path to spiritual enlightenment.

When she gets there she knows
She anticipates reaching her goal of ascending to Heaven.

If the stores are all closed
If the usual ways to reach spiritual fulfillment are unattainable.

With a word she can get what she came for
She has a deep understanding of the true path to enlightenment.

There's a sign on the wall
A warning or message that is unclear or ambiguous.

But she wants to be sure
She seeks clarity to avoid making a mistake.

'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
Certain messages may have a dual or misleading interpretation.

In a tree by the brook
Nature has many signs and symbols that hold meaning.

There's a songbird who sings
The natural world can offer insight and guidance.

Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiving
Our own doubts and fears can cloud our judgment.

And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
There is potential for everyone to come together in harmony and create a better future.

Then the piper will lead us to reason
A wise guide can help lead us to the truth.

And a new day will dawn
There is hope for a better tomorrow.

For those who stand long
Those who persevere and endure through hardships.

And the forests will echo with laughter
Nature will rejoice in the progress and joy of humanity.

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
If there is commotion or unrest in your life.

Don't be alarmed now
Do not panic, as it could be a sign of growth or change.

It's just a spring clean for the May queen
A seasonal cleansing, indicative of new beginnings.

Yes, there are two paths you can go by
There are choices and decision points in our lives.

But in the long run
In the grand scope of our lives.

There's still time to change the road you're on
It is never too late to make positive changes and correct course.

Your head is humming and it won't go
Your mind is occupied and you cannot break free from your thoughts.

In case you don't know
As a reminder that change is possible, even if it may seem intangible in the moment.

The piper's calling you to join him
A beckoning towards a better future and brighter days ahead.

Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow?
A rhetorical question meant to invoke introspection and reflection.

And did you know
A further prompt to consider one's own path.

Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?
The answer may be all around, but requires attentive listening and observation.

And as we wind on down the road
As we journey through life.

Our shadows taller than our soul
Our fears, doubts, and insecurities can loom larger than our very essence.

There walks a lady we all know
A wise and inspiring figure that is universally recognized.

Who shines white light and wants to show
A beacon of hope and guidance that illuminates a better path.

How everything still turns to gold
Despite setbacks and difficulties, there is always a silver lining and opportunities for growth.

And if you listen very hard
A further reminder to remain attentive, curious, and engaged.

The tune will come to you at last
With dedicated effort towards growth and learning, clarity and understanding will eventually be reached.

When all are one and one is all
When we come together in harmony and unity, there are unlimited possibilities for progress and development.

To be a rock and not to roll
To remain grounded, steadfast, and true to oneself, without succumbing to temptation or distraction.

And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
The pursuit of spiritual enlightenment, through a journey of growth, learning, and introspection.
