  1. “A Stairway to Heaven” By Mrs. Kroes

  2. Lyrics • There's a lady who’s sureAll that glitters is goldAnd she's buying a stairway to heavenWhen she gets there she knowsIf the stores are all closedWith a word she can get what she came forAnd she's buying a stairway to heavenThere's a sign on the wallBut she wants to be sure'Cause you know sometimes words have two meaningsIn a tree by the brookThere's a songbird who singsSometimes all of our thoughts are misgivenIt makes me wonderThere's a feeling I getWhen I look to the westand my spirit is crying for leavingIn my thoughts I have seenRings of smoke through the treesAnd the voices of those who stand lookingAnd it makes me wonder

  3. Lyrics Continued • And it's whispered that soonIf we all call the tuneThen the piper will lead us to reasonAnd a new day will dawnFor those who stand longAnd the forest will echo with laughter • If there's a bustle in your hedgerowDon't be alarmed nowIt's just a spring clean for the May queenYes there are two paths you can go byBut in the long runThere's still time to change the road you're onAnd it makes me wonderYour head is humming and it won't goIn case you don't knowThe piper's calling you to join himDear lady can you hear the wind blowAnd did you knowYour stairway lies on the whisperin' wind • And as we wind on down the roadOur shadows taller than our soulsThere 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 rollAnd she's buying a stairway to heaven...

  5. Song Writer This song is played by a rock band from England called Led Zeppelin. It was composed by guitarist Jimmy Page and vocalist Robert Plant. It was written in 1970 while they were in Wales. It was played the 1st time in Northern Ireland in 1971.

  6. Why I chose this song • I have always enjoyed the instumentals in this music. The lyrics are very interesting as well. I believe it is talking about how people try to take different routes to heaven. Some think they can buy it others while others wait till the last minute to try to get in to their eternal resting place.http://ledzeppelin.com/video/stairway-heaven-ny-1973
