Best Religious Music<\/h3>\n

In a brilliant stroke of music match-ups, Mary Blige sings Led Zepplin’s classic, “Stairway to Heaven.” This is not your typical religious music proclaiming the virtues of heaven. This is a rock and roll song with lyrics that hold different meanings depending on how you look at them. Materialism, wonder, and direction are embedded in the words you may never have looked closely at before. This time when you listen to “Stairway to Heaven,” put down your air guitar and listen to the lyrics sung beautifully by Mary Blige.<\/p>\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v= http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Z8ZJVZ9eHNI<\/a>\n

Stairway To Heaven Lyrics – Mary Blige<\/h4>\n

There’s a lady who’s sure all that glitters is gold
\nAnd she’s buying the stairway to heaven.
\nWhen she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
\nWith a word she can get what she came for.
\nOoh, ooh, and she’s buying the stairway to heaven.<\/p>\n

There’s a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
\n‘Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
\nIn a tree by the brook, there’s a songbird who sings,
\nSometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
\nOoh, it makes me wonder,
\nOoh, it makes me wonder.<\/p>\n

There’s a feeling I get when I look to the west,
\nAnd my spirit is crying for leaving.
\nIn my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
\nAnd the voices of those who stand looking.
\nOoh, it makes me wonder,
\nOoh, it really makes me wonder.<\/p>\n

And it’s whispered that soon if we all call the tune
\nThen the piper will lead us to reason.
\nAnd a new day will dawn for those who stand long
\nAnd the forests will echo with laughter.<\/p>\n

If there’s a bustle in your hedgerow, don’t be alarmed now,
\nIt’s just a spring clean for the May queen.
\nYes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
\nThere’s still time to change the road you’re on.
\nAnd it makes me wonder.<\/p>\n

Your head is humming and it won’t go, in case you don’t know,
\nThe piper’s calling you to join him,
\nDear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
\nYour stairway lies on the whispering wind.<\/p>\n

And as we wind on down the road
\nOur shadows taller than our soul.
\nThere walks a lady we all know
\nWho shines white light and wants to show
\nHow everything still turns to gold.
\nAnd if you listen very hard
\nThe tune will come to you at last.
\nWhen all are one and one is all
\nTo be a rock and not to roll.<\/p>\n

And she’s buying the stairway to heaven.<\/p>\n

Composers: Jimmy Page and Robert Plant<\/em><\/p>\n
