[Verses]
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

There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
('Cos 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)

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
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!

[Bridge – italics are spoken lines]
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

When all are one, and one is all
To be a rock and –

Not to roll!
Not to roll
Not to roll
Not to roll
Not to roll
Not to...
[Outro]
There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway
To Heaven!
To Heaven!

To Heaven!
