This is a song of hope



There's a lady who's sure

All that glitters is gold

And she's buying a stairway to heaven

An' when she gets there she knows

If the stores are all closed

With a word she can get what she came for



Oohoohooh oohoohoohoohooh

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 that sings

Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven



An' I think you can see that

Ohh



And it makes me wonder, sure does

Oh hoh hoh, hohooh ohoohohooh yes sir



There's a feelin' 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



Ah hah. Ah hah

Ah hah. Ah hah. Ahhhahhohoohohooh

Ohoohohooh

Ohoohohoohohohoh



And it's whispered that soon

If we all call the tune

A-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



Does anybody remember laughter?



Baby, oh yeah

Just give it to me, give it to me, give it to me



Sure does, sure does

But I got some good news, listen...



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

And there's still time to change the road you're on, I hope so



Oohh, baby baby darlin

Thank ya darlin'

Thank ya darlin'

Thank ya darlin'

Thank ya...



A-wait a minute, a-wait a minute



Your head is hummin' and it won't go

In case ya don't know

The piper's callin' you to join him

Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow

And did you know

Your stairway lies on the whisperin' wind



Ohh hah hahhahhh



(Guitar Solo)



And as we wind on down the road

Our shadows taller than our souls

There walks a lady we all know

Who shines white light and wants to show

How everything still turns to gold, yeah

And if-a you listen very hard

The tune will come to you at last

When all is one and one is all

To be a rock and not to roll, not to roll

Don't make me roll



An' she's buying a stairway to heaven

Ahhahhhhohhahhoh
