Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was at Coachella, leanin' on your shoulder
Watchin' your husband swing in time
I guess I was in it
'Cause baby, for a minute
It was Woodstock in my mind
Then the next morning, they put out the warning
Tensions were rising over country lines
I turned off the music, tried to sit and use it
All of the love that I saw that night
[PreChorus]
'Cause what about all these children?
And what about all their parents?
And what about all their crowns they wear?
In hair so long like mine
And what about all their wishes?
Wrapped up like garland roses
Around their little heads
I said a prayer for a third time
[Chorus]
I'd trade it all for a stairway to Heaven
A stairway, stairway to Heaven
I'd take my time before the climb up to the top of it
A stairway
I'd trade the fame and the fortune and the legend
A stairway
I'd give it all away if you'd give me just one day to ask Him one question
I'd give it all away if you'd give me just one day to ask Him one question
[Verse 2]
I was at Coachella, leanin' on your shoulder
Watchin' your husband swing and shine
I'd say he was hella cool to win them over
Critics can be so mean, sometimes
He was on his knees and
I thought he was breaking 'em down
With his words and his voice divine
Doesn't take a genius to know what you've got goin'
And to not want to lose it, 'cause they lost their minds
[PreChorus]
What about all these children?
And all their children's children?
And why am I even wondering that today?
Maybe my contribution
Could be as small as hoping
That words could turn to birds
And birds would send my thoughts your way
[Chorus]
I'd trade it all for a stairway to Heaven
A stairway, stairway to Heaven
I'd take my time before the climb up to the top of it
A stairway
I'd trade the fame and the fortune and the legend
A stairway
I'd give it all away, if you'd give me just one day to ask Him one question
I'd give it all away, if you'd give me just one day to ask Him one question
[Bridge]
A stairway, stairway to Heaven
A stairway
[Bridge]
Got a million things I wanna say
Like, what's it all for?
Will it be okay?
Million things I wanna say
Like, what's it all for?
[Outro]
A stairway, stairway to heaven
A stairway
A stairway, stairway to Heaven
A stairway
