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
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
It makes me wonder 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
It makes me wonder 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 truth will come to you at last When all are one and one is all To be a rock and not to roll
