Reflections
People Under the Stairs Lyrics

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
There is a woman who strongly believes that anything shiny is valuable.

And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
She's making efforts to find happiness and prosperity.

When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
She's confident that she will still achieve her goals without other people's help.

With a word she can get what she came for.
She can use her powers of persuasion to acquire whatever she wants.

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
There's something on the way that makes her doubtful of the outcome.

'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
The meaning of words can be vague and unclear at times, making her question their authenticity.

In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,
There's a natural sound that she finds enchanting and appealing.

Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
People's thoughts can be misguided or incorrect sometimes.

Ooh, it makes me wonder,
She's intrigued by what she's experiencing and wants to learn more.

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,
She senses something when she observes what's ahead of her.

And my spirit is crying for leaving.
She feels restless and is looking for a way out.

In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
Her imagination makes her see something that's not necessarily there.

And the voices of those who standing looking.
She imagines people nearby watching her every move.

And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
There may be something that could happen if everyone unites and works together toward a common goal.

Then the piper will lead us to reason.
A figure of guidance will lead us closer to a solution or path forward.

And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
For those who persevere, there will eventually be a brighter future.

And the forests will echo with laughter.
The world will be happier and more peaceful.

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
Don't panic if something happens that you're not expecting.

It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
It's just part of the natural cycle of the season.

Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
You have choices to make, but there may be a better option if you look at the big picture.

There's still time to change the road you're on.
You can still make changes and take another route if needed.

Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,
You're preoccupied with something that's bothering you, and you can't shake it off.

The piper's calling you to join him,
Someone is reaching out to help or guide you.

Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
Do you understand the full extent of what's happening around you?

Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.
Your path towards happiness is present but sometimes it's not that clear and can be vague.

And as we wind on down the road
As we travel through life,

Our shadows taller than our soul.
Our external image can sometimes be more prominent than our true self.

There walks a lady we all know
A person familiar to everyone.

Who shines white light and wants to show
She's guiding others to the right path and enlightening them.

How everything still turns to gold.
Every experience has value, even the smallest ones.

And if you listen very hard
You must pay close attention if you want to understand.

The tune will come to you at last.
You'll find your way if you don't give up hope.

When all are one and one is all
When everyone comes together and works as a team,

To be a rock and not to roll.
To be steady and not falter under pressure.

And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
She's seeking happiness and fulfillment.
