       "Stairway to Heaven" é uma canção da banda britânica de rock Led Zeppelin, composta pelo guitarrista Jimmy Page e pelo vocalista Robert Plant para o quarto álbum de estúdio da banda, Led Zeppelin IV, de 1971. Muitas vezes, é considerada uma das maiores canções de rock de todos os tempos.

              A música percorre uma duração de oito minutos e dois segundos, e é composta por várias seções que, aumentam o volume e o ritmo da canção. A música começa com um dedilhado de violão baseado na música popular, e é acompanhado por flautas antes da introdução da instrumentação elétrica. A seção final é uma elevada secção de ritmo hard rock realçada por um solo de guitarra intrincada por Page.

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold

And she's buying the stairway to heaven

And when she gets there she knows

If the stores are all closed

With a word she can get what she came for

Oh, and she's buying the 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 the tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings

Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiving

Oh, it makes me wonder

Oh, it makes me wonder

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

Oh, it makes me wonder

Oh, and it makes me wonder

And it's whispered that soon

If we all called the tune

Then the piper will lead us to reason

And a new day will dawn for those who stand long

And the forest will echo with laughter

Woe, oh

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

There's still time to change the road you're on

And it makes me wonder

Oh

Your head is humming and it won't go

In case you don't know

The piper's calling you to join him

Dear lady can you hear the wind blow and did you know

Your stairway lies on the whispering wind

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

And if you listen very hard

The tune will come to you at last

When all are one and one is all, yeah

To be a rock and not to roll

Oh

And she's buying the stairway to heaven
