a new day will dawn for those who stand strong,

lyrics:

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
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
Ooh, and she’s buying a stairway to Heaven

[Verse 2]
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 sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

[Refrain]
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, makes me wonder

[Verse 3]
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

[Refrain]
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, really makes me wonder

[Verse 4]
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

[Interlude]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-woah-ho

[Verse 5]
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

[Refrain]
And it makes me wonder
Ohh, oh-oh

[Verse 6]
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? Oh

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
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, yeah
To be a rock and not to roll

[Outro]
And she’s buying a stairway to Heaven

“Stairway to Heaven” is one of Led Zeppelin’s most famous recordings, with many considering it the greatest rock song of all time. It tells the story of a greedy woman who is overly optimistic about her unpromising future.
“The song resonated with young listeners, opening up a door to a different realm of spirituality and transporting them into a more mystical view of life. The vagueness of the lyrics also allows listeners to interpret the song in their own way, adding to the magic and mystery of the track.”
~ Led Zeppelin – Stairway to Heaven Lyrics | Genius Lyrics

hope you have a great day!
thanks for stopping by!!

Israel Ramps Up its Execution Plan: redacted …“There’s something deeply disturbing about watching a government official beam with pride while unveiling a facility designed to hang human beings. That’s what happened when Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir announced that Israel is building a new execution facility for its Palestinian prisoners. So what did Ben-Gvir have to say about his project? “We are making history. Terrorists deserve only one thing – death by hanging. I took office promising to stop the ‘summer camps’ in the Prison Service. This has been fully implemented. I promised to legislate a death penalty law for terrorists. This has been carried out. And now the death row and hanging facility are also starting to take shape.” Summer camps? Many would agree that torture camps would be a more fitting description because there have been documented allegations of abuse, torture, starvation, psychological harm and denial of medical treatment involving Palestinian prisoners. The plans for the execution facility stem from a law that Israel recently passed that makes hanging the default punishment for Palestinians convicted in military courts of deadly attacks against Israelis. But this law seems to single out Palestinians, while Jewish Israelis convicted of killing Palestinians face no equivalent penalty.”
