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.
