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