Stairway to Heaven
Led Zepellin/Led Zeppelin Lyrics

There's a lady who's sure
There is a woman who is confident

All that glitters is gold
She believes that things that appear valuable are actually valuable

And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
She is trying to buy a way to get into heaven

When she gets there she knows
She is confident that she will make it to heaven

If the stores are all closed
If the normal routes to heaven are unavailable

With a word she can get what she came for
She has a way to get to heaven that is guaranteed to work

There's a sign on the wall
There is a warning about the path she is taking

But she wants to be sure
She is unsure about her decision to go to heaven this way

'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
She is aware that things are not always what they seem

In a tree by the brook
Nearby, in nature

There's a songbird who sings
There is a bird singing

Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiving
Sometimes we doubt ourselves

Ooh, it makes me wonder
This situation is intriguing

There's a feeling I get
I have a particular emotion

When I look to the west
When I examine the western horizon

And my spirit is crying for leaving
I have a strong desire to depart

In my thoughts I have seen
In my imagination

Rings of smoke through the trees
Smoke that takes the shape of rings as it rises through the trees

And the voices of those who stand looking
The voices of people who are watching

And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
There is a rumor that if we all work together...

Then the piper will lead us to reason
...we can find reason and purpose

And a new day will dawn
Things will change for the better

For those who stand long
For those who wait patiently

And the forests will echo with laughter
People will be happy

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

Don't be alarmed now
Don't panic

It's just a spring clean for the May queen
It's just a routine cleaning

Yes, there are two paths you can go by
There are two ways to live your life

But in the long run
In the end

There's still time to change the road you're on
You can still change the course of your life

Your head is humming and it won't go
You have something on your mind that you can't forget

In case you don't know
Just in case you're unaware of it

The piper's calling you to join him
The opportunity to change your life is present

Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow?
Can you sense the change that's coming?

And did you know
Were you aware

Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?
The path to change is in the wind

And as we wind on down the road
As we travel along the path of life

Our shadows taller than our soul
Our problems are sometimes bigger than we are

There walks a lady we all know
There is a familiar woman

Who shines white light and wants to show
Who radiates goodness and desires to teach

How everything still turns to gold
How everything has the potential to be valuable

And if you listen very hard
If you pay close attention

The tune will come to you at last
You will eventually understand

When all are one and one is all
When everyone is united

To be a rock and not to roll
To be strong and steady

And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
And the woman thinks she can buy a way into heaven
