Somebody was spreading rumors   'Bout better days a coming   Why was I humming?   As if I knew, one and the same   But I just whispered your name      Somebody was saying something   'Bout there being an end to tyranny   But when they asked me   What would I do if that day came   I only whispered your name      Everyone got their own opinion   And protects their own dominion   No doubt for them, it's true   But I tell them what I really believe   My only worry is protecting you      No one should ever be lonely   We'd all find somebody to care   Ask me if I dare to answer   Who could carry that flame   I'd just whisper your name
