[Verse 1]
Let me walk a while alone
Among the sacred rocks and stones
Let me look in vain belief
Upon the beauty of each leaf
[Verse 2]
Here is green in every glade
The tree tops lean providing shade
Maypoles spin in happy sound
All nature's strength around
[Verse 3]
And there's a horse that feels no pain
It's iron strength to take the strain
Children rock it to and fro
And gaily drink its color glow
[Chorus]
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
[Verse 4]
Above the sky, devoid of cloud
Thinks not to cast a thunder shroud
Upon this place so full of joy
A field of gold of love's employ
[Chorus]
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
[Verse 5]
So why my heavy heart you say?
When tears would stain the sights so gay
My brother's dreams once here did soar
Until he died at the hand of needless war
[Outro]
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
