There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold And she's buying a stairway to heaven When she gets there she knows if the stores are all closed, With a word she can get what she came for Ooh, a stairway to heaven There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure 'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings In a tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings, Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven Oh-oh, makes me wonder. I wonder; I really, really wonder There's a feelin' I get when I look to the west And my spirit is crying for leavin' In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees And the voices of those who stand lookin' Ooh. It's whispered that soon if we all call the tune Then the piper will lead us to reason, And a new day will dawn for those who stand long And the forests will echo with laughter Oh-oh-oh-oh, Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh If there's a bustle in your hedgerow don't be alarmed now. It's just a spring clean for the May queen Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run There's still some time to change the road you're on Oh, it makes me wonder Your head is hummin' and it won't go in case you don't know, The piper's callin' you to join him Oh, can you hear the wind blow And did you know your stairway lies upon the whisperin' wind Stairway to heaven, stairway to heaven You can't buy it, you can't borrow You've got to walk it straight and narrow Stairway to heaven, stairway to heaven, stairway to heaven And as we walk on down the road Our shadows longer than our souls, All that glitters is not gold Wanna be a rock and not a roll Oh, the great almighty dollar leaves you lonely, lost and hollow You can't fool yourself forever You gotta work to get to heaven Stairway to heaven. If we listen and hold fast To every question that we asked The truth will come to us at last And she's buying a stairway to heaven
