Stairway To Heaven

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Climbing the stairway to heaven
Here we go
Walking the road of ecstasy
Taking the load
Of this whole world off our shoulders
The door is wide open for you
Here we go
Still in a moment of pleasure
You and I
We are gonna find the pirates treasure
Here we go
Oh baby
Oh baby, here we go
Climbing the stairway to heaven
Climbing the stairway to heaven
And we are going step by step
Together, step by step
Here we go
Oh baby
Oh baby, here we go
Climbing the stairway to heaven
Climbing the stairway to heaven
And we are going step by step
Together, step by step
Stairway to heaven
Stairway to heaven
Stairway to heaven
Stairway to heaven
Stairway to heaven
Stairway to heaven
For the rest of our life
We are gonna be together
Stairway to heaven
Just me and you
Stairway to heaven
Me and you
Put your hand in my shoulder, lean closer
Don't you wanna go, don't you wanna go, don't you wanna go
We'll go out and we're gonna find it
In our own little corner of the world
Our own little spot (and I wonder), it'll be me and you, come on
Don't you wanna go, don't you wanna go, don't you wanna go
I said, baby, it's gonna be just like goin' on up (heaven)
Sweet life (heaven)
Nice life (heaven)
Heaven
Stealin' a moment, stealin' a moment of pleasure
Don't you wanna go, don't you wanna go, don't you wanna go
Just put your hand in mine
Talkin' 'bout heaven right here on earth
Gonna make it, gonna make it real
Don't you wanna go, don't you wanna go, don't you wanna go
Real easy, easy for you, baby, come on and go with me right now
I said it'll be just right (heaven)
Sweet (heaven)
Nice (heaven)
Heaven's on my mind (heaven)
Goin' on up (heaven)
Goin' on up, it's gon' be just like
Walk with me
'Cause the door is open
Talk with me
Come on, baby
Love me
Don't you wanna go, don't you wanna go, don't you wanna go
Love me
Step by step now
Put your hand in mine
For all times
All the troubles in the world, and come on
Don't you wanna go, don't you wanna go, don't you wanna go
Come on, come on, it's gon' be just like, just like (heaven)
It's gonna, it's gonna seem just like (heaven)
'Cause heaven's on my mind (heaven)
I said come on and go, go, go
Heaven right here on earth (heaven)
Go on, go on (heaven)
The OJay's song "Stairway to Heaven" is a love song which uses an allegory of climbing stairs towards heaven as a representation of a couple's love journey. The lyrics are about two people who are experiencing pure joy, as they climb the stairway of love towards heaven. They are able to escape all of the troubles of the world and be free in each other's company. As they climb, they take the load of the world off their shoulders, and reach a moment of pleasure where they feel they can find the pirates' treasure together.
The door being wide open for both of them represents the opportunities that they can and will experience together. The chorus, which repeats the phrase "Stairway to heaven" numerous times, represents the effort involved in climbing the stairs to their ultimate goal, which is happiness together. The phrase "Put your hand in my shoulder, lean closer" shows the intimacy and the trust between the two. The song uses the image of heaven as a symbol of the two individuals being in a good place in their lives, where they can be truly happy and free from any burden.

My 10 y.o grandson asked for this as his song choice. It speaks volumes.
He's had a good loving environment; but his mother treats him poorly for no reason. He has to witness his younger brother get preferential treatment and still he's his protector.
You couldn't ask für a better big brother despite the incredible lack of concern from his mom.
That's where his aunt, great grandparents and myself give him the attention, love and care he needs.
I was flooded with tears when I his aunt told me he requested this song. The same day, his mother spitefully removed him and his brother from our home where he knew he was secure and safe.
Pray for him, them and US!! My next step is get him back. My daughter, his mother has no stable home other than the one she chose to leave.
It touched me too deeply. That's the fire I need to put all my energies into getting them to a safe haven again.

I'm standing here next to my dad who just passes away about an hour ago. This song came to my mind because as the sun rose the rays came thru the window so bright the nurse came and said she'd never seen it so bright in any of the rooms. She looked at me and said im sorry your dad has passed. I know now why it was so bright in here. God had opened the pathway for him to cross over into Heaven today 8/9/2022 1 day after his 83rd Bday. Love you always dad.. Sidney Beckom R.I.P.
