Free my soul to reach the sky
The world outside in my mind's eye


Lilacs cover hill in full bloom
A voice pierces the, "Away with gloom!"


You, oh, my soul
Take me above
Oh, sweet memory stays in my mind

You, oh, my pain
Now on the wane
Oh, sweet memory that we two find


I will live my life in this place
And I will pray to feel joy and grace


Now the wind strikes a haunting note
Resounding on the air it floats


Fragrant violets there do lie
Holding a dance when no one is by


You, oh, my soul
Take me above

You, oh, my pain
Now on the wane
Oh, sweet memory that we two find


I will seek a dream in this place
Though I will stand alone out of time and space


Plastic castle in the air
Once it was bright, once it was so fair


Remembering those days the willows sigh


In praise of scarred braves whose time did fly

You, oh, my soul

Take me above
Oh, sweet memory stays in my mind
You, oh, my pain

Now on the wane
Oh, sweet memory that we two find


The legend endures with me
And with you I will write a new history
