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, ooh, and she’s buying 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.
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it makes me wonder
There’s a feeling I get when I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the
trees,
And the voices of those who stand looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it really makes me wonder
And 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.
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 time to change the road you’re on.
And it makes me wonder
Your head is humming and it won’t go in case you don’t
know,
The piper’s calling you to join him.
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you
know,
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.
And as we wind on down the road,
Our shadows taller than our soul,
There walks a lady we all know,
Who shines white light and wants to show,
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard,
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all,
To be a rock and not to roll.
And she’s buying a stairway to heaven.
