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 ev'rything 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
