[Intro]
[Verse]
It was an Ap
ril morning wh
en they told u
s we should go
As I turn to
you, you smil
ed at me
How could we s
ay no?
With all the
fun to have,
to live the dr
eams we always
had
Oh, the son
gs to sing, wh
en we at last
return again
[Bridge]
[Verse]
Sending off
a glancing ki
ss, to those w
ho claim they
know
Below the s
treets that st
eam and hiss,
the devil's in
his hole
Oh to sail
away, To sandy
lands and oth
er days
Oh to touch
the dream, Hi
des inside and
never seen.
[Bridge]
[Verse]
Into the su
n the south th
e north, at la
st the birds h
ave flown
The shackle
s of commitmen
t fell, In pie
ces on the gro
und
Oh to ride
the wind, To t
read the air a
bove the din
Oh to laugh
aloud, Dancin
g as we fought
the crowd
[Bridge]
[Verse]
To seek the
man whose poin
ting hand, The
giant step un
folds
With guidanc
e from the cur
ving path, Tha
t churns up in
to stone
If one bell
should ring,
in celebration
for a king
So fast the
heart should
beat, As proud
the head with
heavy feet.
[Bridge]
[Solo]
[Verse]
Days went b
y when you and
I, bathed in
eternal summer
s glow
As far away
and distant,
Our mutual chi
ld did grow
Oh the swee
t refrain, Soo
thes the soul
and calms the
pain
Oh Albion r
emains, sleepi
ng now to rise
again
[Bridge]
Wandering & wa
ndering, What
place to rest
the search
The mighty arm
s of Atlas, Ho
ld the heavens
from the eart
h
The mighty arm
s of Atlas, Ho
ld the heavens
from the eart
h
From the earth
...
Earth...
[C-Part]
I know the way
, know the way
, know the way
, know the way
I know the way
, know the way
, know the way
, know the way
[Instrumental]
[Outro]
Oh the mighty
arms of Atlas,
Hold the heav
ens from the e
arth.

de)
