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
Woa the songs to sing, When we at last return again
Sending off a glancing kiss, To those who claim they know
To know the streets the seaman hears, The devil is in his hole
Oh to sail away, To sandy lands and other days
Oh to touch the dream, Hides inside and never seen, yeah
Into the sun the south the north, Lies the first of hope
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, yeah
(Cool Guitar Solo)
Days went by when you and I
Made an eternal summers glow
As far away and distant
Our mutual time to grow
Oh the sweet refrain
Soothes the soul and calms the pain
Oh Albion remains, sleeping now to rise again
Wandering upon the rings
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
Ooooooooooooooh
I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way (2x)
Ooh, ahh, etc...
Oh the mighty arms of Atlas
Hold the heavens from the earth
Oooh, ahh, etc...
