Stairway to Heaven
~Quartet Lyrics

There's a lady who's sure
There is a woman who is confident about something.

All that glitters is gold
She believes that everything that looks nice is valuable.

And she's buying a stairway to heaven
She is trying to attain something great, something beyond reach.

When she gets there she knows
She is confident that she will eventually reach her goal.

If the stores are all closed
She is expecting obstacles along the way.

With a word she can get what she came for
She is confident in her ability to convince and persuade others.

Oh oh oh oh and she's buying a stairway to heaven
She is enthusiastic and determined to pursue her goal.

There's a sign on the wall
There is a symbol or an indication.

But she wants to be sure
She wants to confirm the meaning of the symbol and its relevance to her goal.

'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
She is aware that sometimes things are not what they seem on the surface.

In a tree by the brook
She is observing her surroundings.

There's a songbird who sings
She is aware of the beauty around her.

Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiving
She recognizes the folly of our thoughts and feelings.

Ooh, it makes me wonder
She is curious and reflective.

There's a feeling I get
She is experiencing an emotion.

When I look to the west
She is contemplating something specific.

And my spirit is crying for leaving
She is feeling the urge to escape from her current life.

In my thoughts I have seen
She has imagined something.

Rings of smoke through the trees
She is visualizing something ethereal.

And the voices of those who standing looking
She is hearing something intangible.

Ooh, it makes me wonder
She is curious and reflective once again.

And it's whispered that soon, If we all call the tune
She is hearing rumors or tales.

Then the piper will lead us to reason
If we follow the piper, we will find meaning or purpose.

And a new day will dawn
A new way of thinking or living will emerge.

For those who stand long
For those who persist and persevere.

And the forests will echo with laughter
Nature will rejoice at the change.

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
If there is trouble or turmoil in your life.

Don't be alarmed now
Do not be afraid or anxious.

It's just a spring clean for the May queen
It is a cleansing or a renewal.

Yes, there are two paths you can go by
There are choices and decisions to be made.

But in the long run
In the end.

There's still time to change the road you're on
You still have time to change your direction and your fate.

And it makes me wonder
She is once again curious and reflective.

Your head is humming and it won't go
You are preoccupied and cannot shake it off.

In case you don't know
Just in case you are unaware or uncertain.

The piper's calling you to join him
The piper is inviting you to follow him.

Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow
She is asking someone specific a question.

And did you know
She is sharing some information.

Your stairway lies on the whispering wind
The direction you need to go to attain your goal is intangible and elusive.

And as we wind on down the road
As we continue on our journey.

Our shadows taller than our soul
Our doubts and fears overshadow our spirit.

There walks a lady we all know
There is a woman who is a common figure to all of us.

Who shines white light and wants to show
She is a beacon of hope and seeks to inspire others.

How everything still turns to gold
She maintains that everything has value and can be considered precious.

And if you listen very hard
If you concentrate and listen closely.

The tune will come to you at last
You will eventually understand and grasp the meaning.

When all are one and one is all
When everyone and everything is united and harmonious.

To be a rock and not to roll
To be steadfast and unyielding.

And she's buying the stairway to heaven
She is still determined to pursue her goal.
