It was an April morning when they told us we should go

As I turn to you, you smiled at me

How could we say no?



With all the fun to have, to live the dreams we always had

Oh, the songs to sing, when we at last return again



Sending off a glancing kiss, to those who claim they know

Below the streets that steam and hiss,

The devil's in his hole



Oh to sail away, To sandy lands and other days

Oh to touch the dream, Hides inside and never seen.



Into the sun the south the north, at last the birds have flown

The shackles of commitment fell, In pieces on the ground



Oh to ride the wind, To tread the air above the din

Oh to laugh aloud, Dancing as we fought the crowd



To seek the man whose pointing hand, The giant step unfolds

With guidance from the curving path, That churns up into stone



If one bell should ring, in celebration for a king

So fast the heart should beat, As proud the head with heavy feet.



Days went by when you and I, bathed in eternal summers glow

As far away and distant, Our mutual child did grow



Oh the sweet refrain, Soothes the soul and calms the pain

Oh Albion remains, sleeping now to rise again



Wandering & wandering, What place to rest the search

The mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth



The mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth

From the earth...



I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way (X2)



Oh the mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth.
