A veil of sparkling white soothes and bathes me in the light It fills me with the suns and visions of the ancient ones Descend to me, and soothe my disarray And so it's done, hear my words Avalon Fields are swaying like dancers in the moonlight Rivers filled with dreams, unbroken and still promising Descend to me, and soothe my disarray And so it's done, hear my words Avalon Warm inside Open the way in Float into the night Embrace what's to be Warm inside Open the way in Float into the night Embrace what's to be Avalon (Avalon) Avalon (Avalon) Avalon (Avalon) Avalon (Avalon) Avalon (Avalon) Avalon (Avalon) Avalon (Avalon) Avalon (Avalon) Avalon (Avalon) Avalon (Avalon)

Throw another year to the fire Bask in the glow for a while As the flickering grows higher Every part of your life's on trial Spinning out, running away, felt way different yesterday Spinning out, running away, felt way different yesterday Spinning out, running away, felt way different yesterday Spinning out, running away, felt way different yesterday There's nothing left for me here I might as well just throw it all away There's nothing new for me here I might as well just take a little break There's nothing happening here I might as well just walk the other way There's nothing holding me here I might as well just take it anyway Spinning out, running away, felt way different yesterday Spinning out, running away, felt way different yesterday Spinning out, running away, felt way different yesterday Spinning out, running away, felt way different yesterday

Mama, dear mama, look in yonder tree See that pretty little sparrow, a-lookin' back at me She can soar above the clouds, way up in the sky She can fly away from here, why, o why, can't I? Daughter, dear daughter, I'll tell you something true Remember Gran Eliza, well, every night she flew They tried to keep her down but there was nothing they could do She could fly, she could fly She could slip the bonds of earth and rise so high She could fly across the river Her spirit in her hands Searching, always searching for the promised land Mama, dear mama, mama tell me more I feel a trembling in my arms, I've never felt before Daughter, dear daughter, listen what I say Your granny always told me you'd feel that way some day Every time she looked at you she saw the old-time ways When we could fly, we could fly We could slip the bonds of earth and rise so high We could fly across the mountains Together, hand in hand Searching, always searching for the promised land Mama, dear mama, come and stand by me I feel a lightness in my feet, a longing to be free My heart it is a-shakin' with an old, old song I hear the voices sayin', it's time for moving on She took her mama by the hand, they rose up in the air They held each other tight and then They flew away from there They held each other tight and then they flew away from there They could fly, they could fly They could slip the bonds of earth and rise so high They could fly across the ocean Together, hand in hand Searching, always searching for the promised land
