Lyrics

I remember years ago,
I came up to New England.
The feathers on my wings were fresh and I could hardly fly.

Then I grew as young ones grow,
and came back to New England,
as someone who had just begun to soar across the sky.

I wait for the sunset for my chance to shine.
I look to the mountains for what shall be mine.
I come to you, Williams, for my soul’s release.
O Williams, set me free.

If I could dream my days away,
I’d dream them of you Williams.
I’ll celebrate your song of life wherever I may roam.

And I promised myself,
I’ll never leave you, Williams.
No matter where I go I know this valley is my home.

I wait for the sunset for my chance to shine.
I look to the mountains for what shall be mine.
I come to you, Williams, for my soul’s release.
O Williams, set me free.

I wait for the sunset for my chance to shine.
I look to the mountains for what shall be mine.
I come to you, Williams, for my soul’s release.
O Williams, set me free.
