Stairway to Heaven

"Stairway to Heaven" is a famous and influential song by the British rock group Led Zeppelin.

Lyrics

The lyrics, written by Led Zeppelin vocalist Robert Plant next to an evening log fire, were inspired by his search for spiritual perfection. A seminal influence was the book Magic Arts in Celtic Britain by Lewis Spence, which Plant had recently read; it contained references to May Queens, pipers, and bustling hedgerows.
