《Stairway to Heaven》 is a song by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, released on 8 November 1971 on the band’s untitled fourth studio album (commonly known as Led Zeppelin IV), by Atlantic Records. Composed by the band's guitarist Jimmy Page with lyrics written by lead singer Robert Plant, it is widely regarded as one of the greatest rock songs of all time.

The song has three sections, each one progressively increasing in tempo and volume. The song begins in a slow tempo with acoustic instruments (guitar and recorders) before introducing electric instruments. The final section is an uptempo hard rock arrangement, highlighted by Page's guitar solo and Plant's vocals, which ends with the plaintive a cappella line: "And she's buying a stairway to heaven".

Stairway to Heaven lyric

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is goldAnd she's buying a stairway to Heaven
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closedWith 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 singsSometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
Ooh, it makes me wonderOoh, makes me wonder
There's a feeling I get when I look to the WestAnd my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the treesAnd the voices of those who stand looking
Ooh, it makes me wonderOoh, really makes me wonder
And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tuneThen the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand longAnd the forests will echo with laughter
Oh-oh-oh-oh-whoa
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed nowIt's just a spring clean for the May queenYes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long runThere's still time to change the road you're on
And it makes me wonderOhh, whoa
Your head is humming, and it won't go, in case you don't knowThe piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow? And did you knowYour stairway lies on the whispering wind?
And as we wind on down the roadOur shadows taller than our soulThere walks a lady we all knowWho shines white light and wants to showHow everything still turns to goldAnd if you listen very hardThe tune will come to you at lastWhen all are one, and one is allTo be a rock and not to roll
And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
