[Verses – Sandra Hahn and Michael Turkic, and backing singers.]

[Hahn solo:]
There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to Heaven

[Turkic solo:]
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for

[Backing singers solo]
(There's a sign on the wall)
(But she wants to be sure)
('Cos you know sometimes words have two meanings)

[Turkic and backing singers, Hahn interjecting]
In a tree
(In a tree)
By the brook
(By the brook)
There's a songbird who sings
(Ah-ah-ahh, ah-ah-ah!)
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
[Turkic solo:]
There's a feeling I get
Whеn I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving

[Hahn solo:]
In my thoughts I havе seen
Rings of smoke through the trees
[Hahn and Turkic:] And the voices of those who stand looking

[Instrumental break]

[Hahn solo:]
Your head is humming and it won't go
In case you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him

[Turkic solo:]
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow?
And did you know -
[Hahn and Turkic:] Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?
Whispering wind!

[Bridge - Hahn and Turkic (and backing vocalists):]
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
(To be a rock and not to roll)

To be a rock and not to roll
(To be a rock and not to roll)

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

[Outro - Hahn solo:]
And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
